A little bit about me

Caring for children has been part of my life since I was young. I raised my son with love and dedication, cared for my 12 nieces and nephews, including twins, and have cared for my husband's grandchildren since infancy. I also have experience caring for a child with autism, providing patient, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to the child's individual needs and routine. Caring for babies and young children comes naturally to me. I am a Christian with strong values: responsible, patient, and committed to supporting families. I bring stability, kindness, and genuine love into the home. For me, this work is a calling. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, biking, going to the gym, attending church, and sharing the gospel with my husband. People describe me as warm, loving, and genuine. I create a safe, structured, and nurturing environment while respecting each family's rules and routines. I am committed to serving families with professionalism, integrity, and care.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Although I am not a licensed teacher, nurse, or therapist, I have extensive practical experience with children. I was a professional volleyball player in Brazil for 23 years and used that experience to teach volleyball and coordination skills to a nine-year-old autistic boy for one year. In 2023, I volunteered three to four times a week for six months, helping friends care for their six-year-old daughter with Level 3 autism. I am also the mother of an adult son and have 12 nieces and nephews. For nine years, I regularly helped care for a friend’s twins from infancy whenever their family visited Brazil or their mother traveled. More recently, I worked as a nanny for two girls, ages one and three. These experiences strengthened my ability to care for children with patience, responsibility, creativity, structure, and genuine love.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy reading books, building with LEGO, doing arts and crafts, playing educational and cognitive games, and encouraging imaginative play. If the family shares the Christian faith, I would also be happy to read children’s Bible stories and do faith-based activities. Outdoors, I enjoy taking children to playgrounds, going for walks, and participating in age-appropriate sports and activity classes. I was a professional volleyball player in Brazil for 23 years, so I would also love to introduce children to volleyball and help them develop coordination, confidence, and teamwork all while having fun!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where each child feels valued, protected, and encouraged to grow. Caring for children is more than a job to me—it is a calling and a gift from God. I am the mother of a 30-year-old son and have 12 nieces and nephews. I also helped care for a friend’s twins from infancy for nine years whenever their family visited Brazil, often welcoming them into my home or caring for them while their mother traveled. I have loved children for as long as I can remember. I give them my attention, patience, affection, and genuine commitment while always respecting their parents’ values, routines, and wishes. Earning a family’s trust and making a positive difference in a child’s life are what matter most to me.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience supporting two autistic children. From 2007 to 2008 in Rio de Janeiro, I taught volleyball to a nine-year-old boy with developmental delays. Through running, catching, throwing, ball-control, and concentration exercises, he greatly improved his coordination, focus, confidence, and ability to follow directions. I regularly updated his family.

In 2023, I helped friends in California care for their six-year-old daughter with Level 3 autism three to four times weekly for six months. We enjoyed walks, playgrounds, puzzles, music, movement, communication, and coordination activities. When overwhelmed, I calmly helped her feel safe. These experiences taught me patience, consistency, flexibility, and respect for each child’s unique needs. I offer practical experience, compassion, and responsibility, and I follow the family’s routines and professional guidance.
