A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Renata, and I’m 27 years old. I have experience caring for children ranging from 2 months old to 10 years old, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids of all ages.

I’m comfortable helping with light housekeeping, meal prep/cooking, driving, homework help, tutoring, and other day-to-day needs that make life easier for families. As a designer, I love bringing creativity into activities and finding fun, engaging ways to keep kids entertained and learning.

I’m also fluently bilingual in English and Spanish, which can be a great opportunity for children to learn or practice a second language. I’m reliable, patient, and adaptable, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family!
