A little bit about me

My name is Pietra, and I am Brazilian. I have been living in the United States for the past five years, which has helped me become adaptable and connect with children and families from different backgrounds. I am dedicated, hardworking, and passionate about supporting children’s development.
In my childcare role modeling experience, I consistently demonstrate positive behaviors such as kindness, patience, responsibility, and respect. I help children learn how to communicate effectively, solve problems calmly, and make good choices. I encourage teamwork, independence, and empathy while creating a safe and supportive environment for their growth. I also model positive behavior by being reliable, organized, and attentive to their needs.
I have earned certificates in CPR/First Aid, child development, and Mandated Reporter training, which prepare me to provide safe, knowledgeable, and responsible care while recognizing and reporting any concerns about a child’s well-being.
