Ana Flavia Rodrigues

Brooklyn$18/hr | 9 yrs experience

Hi :) my name is Ana, I'm Brazilian and I moved to NYC 5 months ago.
I am looking for a job opportunity as a nanny to improve my English and because I love children. In Brazil I had experience in Associations and volunteer work with children, I took care of friends' children and also accompanied and helped throughout my mother's pregnancy until the birth of my brother who is now 10 years old.
I currently take care of a beautiful 5 year old boy on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I pick him up from school and stay with him from 2pm to 8pm, we do a lot of activities together and we also go out to play in the parks. My English is not fluent, but I can communicate even with the basics.
I take English classes on Saturdays and I strive daily to improve my second language and I would be very happy to be able to help take care of your family and so you would also help me to have more experience with this new language.
