A little bit about me

Hello, I'm Chaiane, I'm 28 years old and I'm Brazilian. I'm in the country studying English, I still speak little but I want to dedicate myself to learning much more. I have been working since I was very young with children of various ages, but only in Brazil I worked, here I have not yet worked with children. I'm looking for an opportunity, after all, I've always liked children a lot, I do several activities with them, I have patience, I'm loving and respect everyone. I don't have children, all my love and dedication I've always put in my work as a nanny. I will be happy to have the opportunity. Thank you

A little bit about me

My name is Alina Acosta and I currently live in South Boston. I am from Dominican Republic. My first language is Spanish but I can speak and write English as well.

I have experience taking care of kids and cleaning as well. I used to live in FL and used to take care of 3 adorable boys. I moved to Boston with my family and I've been working as a Housekeeper and my recent job was as a nanny of a 2 years old boy. I worked for them for about 2 years and a half.

I had to leave the job in December 2023 and and I am currently looking for a new one.

I am willing to start anytime.

I can clean and cook as well. I don't have CPR certificate but I will be taking the classes soon and I am fully vaccinated. You can contact me with any questions or concerns.
