A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Yúnice, I'm 22 years old from Mozambique, currently living in the U. S. I started working with kids in 2021 and have experience with daily routines, activities, crafts, and remote learning. I also worked as an au pair, which gave me more experience caring for children of different ages. I'm responsible, patient, and friendly. My top three childcare skills are responsibility, patience, and creativity. I'm comfortable cooking simple meals, doing laundry, running errands, and I have First Aid training. I enjoy helping kids learn, play, and grow, and being part of their daily routine. In my spare time, I like to travel, play and watch sports, bake cakes, and spend time with friends. I'm looking for a live-out position Monday to Friday, where I can support the family and children in a safe and positive environment.
