Hi! My name is Alicin, and caring for children has been part of my life for many years. I am responsible, patient, caring, organized, and very attentive to each child’s individual needs.
In Brazil, childcare was always a source of additional income for me once I was old enough to work. Even before I was old enough to have a formal job, I earned my own money by helping families care for their children. Over the years, I gained experience caring for children of different ages, from newborns to 12-year-olds.
Here in the United States, I also have childcare experience and references that I can provide to families. I have cared for children around 2 and 4 years old, which has helped me become familiar with the routines and needs of young children here as well.
I am also very comfortable caring for pets. In Brazil, I have an animal welfare organization called Instituto Arcanas, dedicated to helping and caring for animals in vulnerable situations. Because of this work, I have developed a lot of experience, responsibility, patience, and affection when caring for animals.
Portuguese is my native language, and I am currently improving my English. For this reason, I am especially interested in connecting with Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking families. However, I am also very open to working with English-speaking families who feel that my experience and personality are a good fit for their needs and who are comfortable being patient and helping me with the language when necessary. I am committed to learning and improving every day.
Most importantly, I understand the responsibility and trust involved when a family chooses someone to care for their children, pets, or home. I always do my best to provide a safe, respectful, loving, and reliable environment.
