Andrea’s Bio
I have been in "the business" of providing care for nearly 20 years. My experience began in 1996 when I started working as a CNA. I've worked in nursing homes, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities and assisted living through staffing agencies. In 2000, I began working in group homes and private homes for individuals with developmental disabilities. I am a 35 year old mother of two teenagers and currently work full time as a Paramedic. I work a rotating schedule so I am available on a part time or as needed basis. Because of the rotating schedule I won't be available on the same days each week but, I always know my availability. I am open to babysit on date night, be a companion for an elderly loved one, or provide intensive care for those with developmental or physical disabilities. I have worked with people from all walks of life and have provided care in all age groups from newborn to seniors, and all ability levels as well. Feel free to contact me to discuss my qualifications and your needs!
