About Me

Hi, I’m Andrea

I’m a parent coach, childcare provider, and mom of five, and I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure what to do next.

I’ve spent over 25 years working with children of all ages and needs, helping families navigate behavior challenges, emotional regulation, and everyday parenting struggles.

But more importantly, I’ve lived it.

Why I created Grace and Grit Parenting

I kept seeing the same thing over and over:
Parents struggling in the moment…
but having no real support when they actually needed it.
- Appointments are scheduled weeks out.
- Advice online is generic.
- And most of the time, you’re left trying to figure it out on your own.

That’s where this came from.

I created Grace and Grit Parenting to give families real-time support, not just information, but guidance you can actually use in your everyday life.

What makes this different?

You’re not getting:
- one-size-fits-all advice
- judgment
- or long, overwhelming explanations

You’re getting:
- clear, practical guidance
- support in the moment
- and someone who understands both child development and real-life parenting

This is support that fits into your life, not something you have to rearrange your life for.

My approach

My work is rooted in:
- Collaborative Problem Solving
- Trauma-informed care
- Conscious discipline
- Evidence-based, developmentally appropriate practices

I focus on helping you understand the why behind your child’s behavior, while giving you tools that actually work in real life.

Who I help

I work with parents who are:
- Feeling overwhelmed by behavior challenges
- Unsure how to respond in the moment
- Tired of guessing or trying everything without results
- Wanting a calmer, more connected relationship with their child

You’re not alone in this
Parenting can feel heavy sometimes.
And when you’re in it every day, it’s easy to feel stuck.

You don’t have to do this alone.

I’m here to support you, with clarity, without judgment, and in a way that actually works for your life.

You can start anytime.
