I am a loving, patient, energetic, outgoing, hardworking, and responsible person. I have been blessed enough to take care of children for nine years and have enjoyed every second of it. I currently work as a behavioral interventionist and classroom aide for the Tustin School District. I work with both special and general education throughout various schools and homes. I help students follow instructions, maintain attention and understanding of school activities and assignments, engage in conversations and activities with their peers and prevent altercations by teaching students affective ways of communicating with one another, and maintain environment clean. I also take data, make notes, assist parent/student meetings and help students achieve academic annual goals. I have a passion for teaching children life skills by keeping them occupy with fun activities.

    Andrea was incredibly helpful, positive, and supportive. She supported me with my huge dog by walking him, cleaning up after him, feeding him, and we even had to do an urgent care visit for a nasty ear infection. Again, the whole time, she was incredibly calm and focused on the task at hand. She also supported me while I dealt with awful migraines and endometriosis. She cared and did everything I asked her to do with a smile. Andrea prepared meals for me, cleaned the kitchen, threw out the trash and recycling, cleaned the floors, did some laundry and folding, watered the front and back yards, and raked the leaves outside. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone who wants someone compassionate and cheerful around them while they are going through a tough time.
