Hello!
My name is Araceli Andrade Bluhm, and I’m 24 years old with 5 years of experience in childcare and nannying. 😊
I began my journey as a nanny for two years before transitioning into a preschool setting, where I’ve been working for the past three years. I’ve had the opportunity to work with children ranging in age from newborns to 6 years old, and with families from a wide variety of backgrounds.
Over the last two years, I’ve also gained valuable experience working with children on the autism spectrum, which has helped me develop a broad and adaptable skill set. I’m confident that these experiences could make me a strong fit for your family’s needs.
I’m currently based in Oregon but plan to relocate to the Bay Area in January 2026. At this time, I’m just beginning to explore potential opportunities and would be happy to answer any questions you might have!
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warmly,
Araceli Andrade Bluhm 😊

Nanny Andrea
"We have been lucky enough to have Andrea nanny our one and sometimes two boys. She’s truly a part of the family. She’s always on time, entertaining the boys, and even cleans when the boys are napping. They love her so much they cry when she leaves! Our boys enjoy being outdoors most of the day and require A LOT of energy. I never worry about their safety or comfort. I 10/10 recommend her."

She brought him toys and played the flute for him to introduce him to new things. I am very grateful for the care she provided."
