Experience: 8 yrs
Hi! A bit about myself- I am originally from North Dakota and studied and received my BFA with an emphasis in painting at NDSU. I recently moved to Des Moines with my partner, who works as an associate professor at ISU. I'm an oil painter, and am planning to get my MFA next fall of 2024 in Chicago. I am looking for a family that I feel a solid, genuine connection with. I want to feel trusted with the love of your life. My hours are flexible- but I'm looking for something more than 30/week. I've been working with children for about a decade- but my real, meaningful experience comes from my last position. I started working with her full time when she was 6m until 2. 5y. I did some nannying, tutoring, and babysitting prior to this as well. I can send my resume/more info about experience in the chat if interested I'm a super sweet, warm and patient person. please reach out!

Andrea felt like family! Our daughter adored her. She was active and made sure our child stayed stimulated by taking her to museums, parks and keeping her engaged through books and play. She is a reliable person and offered a peace of mind to our family. She kept our space tidy and kept up on laundry and dishes to make our lives easier. We could come home at the end of the day and relax and spend time with our daughter. Great caregiver!
