A little bit about me

Hello families! My name is Mariana, and I have over five years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I’ve worked as a full-time nanny and live-in caregiver, creating safe, nurturing, and fun environments where children can learn, explore, and grow. I love planning engaging activities, preparing healthy meals, and supporting families with daily routines. I’m a safe, confident driver with a clean record and comfortable transporting kids.

I speak four languages — Portuguese (fluent), English (advanced), Spanish (upper-intermediate), and Japanese (basic) — which helps me connect with families from different cultures. I’m currently completing my prerequisites for Nursing School at NOVA, so I’m looking for a flexible position that allows me to balance my studies while continuing to do what I love. Families describe me as responsible, trustworthy, and positive. I look forward to meeting your family!

More About Me

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

I were a teacher in a social project for 2 years in Brazil, where I had the opportunity to interact directly with vulnerable kids and give my best to help them everyday.
I thought most of them how to read, write, basic math and grammar. It was the most satisfying job I ever did.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Parks, museums, libraries, playdates, arts and crafts and much more.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and trusting environment where children feel cared for and supported. It’s about building a strong connection — not just meeting their basic needs, but helping them grow, learn, and feel confident every day.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was watching a baby I cared for take their very first steps. I had been helping with tummy time and encouraging them to stand for weeks, so seeing that little moment of confidence and joy was incredibly special — it reminded me why I love caring for children so much.
