Hi! I’m Aondra, and I’ve been caring for children for over 5 years. I have experience with kids of all ages from infants to teens and I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for every child I work with. I’m known for being reliable, friendly, and active. I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding bikes, and finding creative ways to keep kids entertained and learning. Whether it's helping with homework, preparing snacks, or just being a positive presence, I always bring patience and energy to every family I support. My schedule is very flexible—I’m available on weekdays and can work around your family’s needs. I'm comfortable with all age groups and can easily adapt to different routines and personalities. I’d love the opportunity to connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!

Even though I am the youngest in my family, I have spent many years helping with my niece. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I work with 3-6 and 7-12 year olds mostly. I grew up helping at camp with at risk kids, I am a success coach with those kids as well. As a success coach I work with kids who aren’t having the best of times.
