Andrea B. Care Companion in Laveen, AZ 85339

For the past 4 years I have been working in the Social Services field working with foster children and their biological parents. I decided to leave the field approximately 2 months ago due to the environment becoming overwhelming. After a few years of working with foster children and families and not being able to do as much as someone like me wants to...I decided the best thing to do was keep my professional high standings in the field and dismiss myself and do something where I do feel I am able to do more.
I am the biggest kid fanatic ever. I often will take friend's kids overnight or a couple nights just because I love being around children! My kiddos are teenagers now and not need me as much as they used to!

Since 2005, I have always worked with children. I started as a caregiver working with children that were autistic. I have worked at a daycare as well. Below is a portion of my resume past employment.
