A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Dominique, 31 years old, originally from Brazil and raised between Brazil and Japan. I’ve lived in the U.S. for 7 years and have 9+ years of childcare experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and children up to 10 years old. I speak English and Portuguese fluently, intermediate Japanese, and basic Spanish.

I started my U.S. childcare journey as an au pair with a wonderful family for two years, caring for a 5-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl. Since the family had lived in Japan, I also spoke Japanese with the children. I prepared meals, drove them to school and activities, planned fun and educational activities, playdates, parks, the zoo, and even Disneyland. They became like a second family.

My personality type is ESFJ (Consul)caring, dependable, organized, and nurturing. I genuinely love helping children grow, learn, and feel safe.
I’m reliable, punctual, detail-oriented, organized, active. I’m CPR trained and vaccinated (COVID, Flu & Tdap).

A little bit about me

I've been a nanny for 10 years. I've worked with infant age to 9 years old. I have a child-friendly car and a good driving record. I've taken 30 units of child development at LACC and worked for 5 years as a lab technician in Israel. I also worked as a substitute teacher at Temple Bet Am. For many years I was a volunteer at my childrens' elementary school.

As a nanny I make sure the kids have lots of fun and learn with play. I encourage organization, respect, openess with emotions, honesty and responsibility. I prepare balanced meals, help with homework, bathe them, do their laundry, drive them to appointments and activities, facilitate playdates and help with anything else in their daily routines.

I believe in keeping calm and being firm.

I love working with children, the amount of positive emotion I get out of it is enormous.
