A little bit about me
Dedicated and experienced nanny with a strong background caring for children from 3 to 11 years old. I am proactive, responsible, and highly organized, with experience supporting busy families and creating safe, engaging, and loving environments.
I value outdoor activities, creativity, and helping children grow with confidence and independence. I enjoy planning age-appropriate experiences both inside and outside the house, from crafts and reading to parks, sports, and nature adventures.
Originally from Brazil, I am bilingual (Portuguese and English) and have lived with host families in the U.S., which has made me very adaptable, communicative, and respectful of different parenting styles.
