About Andrea

Hello! I'm Andrea, a South Bend native and mother of two (ages 7 & 8). I bring extensive childcare experience, including work as a live-in nanny, infant care specialist, and managing large families (up to 7 kids, including 2 yo twins!). I've also served as a Daycare Center Director, infant room teacher, high school counselor, and summer camp CIT Coordinator in Maine. Additionally, I ran my own business as a birth/postpartum doula business for 5 years and volunteered teaching arts to children in India. I hold a B. A. in Liberal Studies (Theater, Music, Sociology) and am completing my M. S. in Psychology. As a parent and caregiver, I believe quality care goes beyond supervision to foster emotional intelligence, literacy, and kindness. My schedule is flexible, and I am happy to discuss rates during an interview to find a solution that fits your family's needs and honors my experience. I look forward to connecting!
