Andrew W.

Hi there, my name is Andrew! I am a 3rd year nursing student at the University of Pittsburgh who hopes to work as a neonatal or pediatric nurse. My expertise is particularly focused towards caring for newborns and infants. Children bring so much joy into our lives and safety is my upmost priority.

I have 2 years of previous work experience as a babysitter as well as 1 year of inpatient hospital experience in the postpartum unit and newborn nursery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. I am comfortable with nightshift work, twins, and medically complex infants/kids. As part of my nursing education I am trained in adult and senior care as well.

As a requirement for my work I have been cleared by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services for work with children.
The Pennsylvania State Police have attested that I do not have a criminal record.

I am certified by the American Heart Association for infant, child, and adult CPR and other life support & first aid techniques.

I would be happy to provide these documents upon request.

In my free time I enjoy knitting, watching TV with my cat, drawing, and reading. I am very crafty, so if your kid(s) love art or science, we will likely get along great! I have always been drawn to cats and dogs, but am willing to branch out and meet other animals! I grew up with dogs, had a 10 gallon fish tank, and now have a cat named Buttermilk!

On Mondays and Wednesdays between 11:30 and 4:30 I am a teaching assistant and researcher at Pitt and will not be available those hours.

I understand how difficult it can be to find a caretaker who fits your needs and who you trust with your family, so I am available for zoom or in person interview. It is my goal to match with a family who are looking for a reliable babysitter for their kids long term! I appreciate your consideration and hope to be in contact with you soon!
