A little bit about me

Hi! I'm a dedicated nanny with 11 years of experience caring for children from infancy to teens. Originally from Portugal, I moved to the U.S. in 2014 and have been working with families ever since as both a nanny and tutor.
I'm reliable, creative, and bring a warm, nurturing approach to childcare. I love incorporating play-based learning and Montessori-inspired activities into daily routines, whether it's engaging babies with sensory play or helping school-age kids with homework. I'm comfortable with all aspects of caregiving—from morning routines and meal prep to bedtime stories and everything in between.
What I love most is building lasting relationships with families and watching children grow. I approach every day with patience, positivity, and genuine care. I have my own reliable car, I'm flexible with scheduling, and I'm looking for a family where I can become a trusted part of your lives.
Let's connect and see if we're a good fit for each other!

More About Me

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

I was a in-classroom tutor for neurodivergent 9 year old student. I was a arts teacher. A surf instructor for children at Nland surf park. As well as a private tutor for children from 1st grade to 12th grade. I also volunteer at my buddhist organization for the future division, ages 3 to 11.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Playing board games. Art. Outdoor games and activities. Reading. Listening to music and stories.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Creating trust bonds that last and are meaningful. Being a nanny is not just a job, it's being a true friend who's there to protect the children and help the parents have more quality time with their kids.

My experience with special needs children...

I worked with two special needs kids. Nadine in the classroom while she attended 3rd grade. And TK with Zahid homeschooling.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love it when Zahi, who's now 18 calls me to prank me or to ask for advice,

Nathan J. - Seeking Work in Austin

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Austin, TX: Nathan J.

Marry Poppins said it best: "In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun, and—snap!—the job's a game!" Kids learn best through play, so I try to have fun with everything that I do. Whether it's setting the table for breakfast, getting ready for bed, or anything in between!

And through having fun, I teach children how to play safely, how to identify and express their emotions, how to do things independently (depending on their age), and other things to help them navigate life!
