A little bit about me

I’m Brazilian, 27 years old, and have been a professional childcare provider since 2016. In 2022, I traveled to California as an Au Pair, and finished the second half of my program in Portland, where I still live. I’ve been working as a baby sitter since 2023, when I finished the program. I value the time with kids and I take my job seriously, because I believe that this moment with them won’t last forever, they’re growing every second. I work with positive parenting and am happy to help the parents with resources and stories from my experience. Don’t have any favorites, I love kids of all ages, especially being a big sister to 3 siblings! I’m very excited to meet you!

A little bit about me

I have 5 years of early childhood teaching experience in a licensed childcare facility. I have experience with children of all ages and abilities. I can help with childcare and learning while also helping with cooking, cleaning, and other household tasks.

I love helping children learn through play and letting them lead our learning. I grew up here in Portland and I feel it is very important for children to get time outdoors no matter the weather!

In my free time I enjoy cooking, playing with my dog, hiking, and reading.
