I’m a caring, responsible, and patient person who genuinely enjoys helping others. I’m dependable, organized, and attentive to people’s needs. I’m comfortable caring for children and seniors, helping with daily activities, preparing simple meals, and keeping the home clean and organized. I’m respectful, trustworthy, and always focused on creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment.

For 15 years, I had the privilege of serving one wonderful family in a multi-faceted role as a full-time nanny, private chef, family assistant, personal assistant, and house manager. I helped raise two children, one of whom is on the the autism spectrum, working closely with teachers, behavioral therapists, and psychiatrists to help ensure consistency and the best possible support. My approach to children centers on understanding each child's individuality, creating a safe, respectful, and encouraging environment. Beyond childcare, I take pride in running an organized and welcoming household, managing everything from meal planning and private chef services to scheduling, errands, and anticipating the day-to-day needs of a busy family. Known for my warmth, creativity, and strong work ethic, I aim to become a trusted extension of any family I serve, someone parents can rely on and children can feel comfortable with. I'd be honored to bring that same dedication and compassion to your family.

I’m the oldest of seven, so caregiving has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a single-parent home, I naturally stepped in to help my mom with everything from homework and bedtime routines to meals and keeping the house running. Those early years taught me how to be patient, responsible, and calm under pressure, and they’re a huge reason why I’m so comfortable working with kids today. Outside of my own family, I’ve spent time caring for children in my community and during college. I worked at youth camps and served as a counselor, leading activities, helping kids build friendships, and supporting them through the ups and downs of being young. I also worked with the Boys and Girls Club, mentoring kids both academically and socially. Those experiences helped me develop my own style of caregiving — warm, creative, and centered around helping each child feel seen and capable. I recently graduated from college, and my education helped strengthen my communication and leadership skills. I love finding ways to connect with kids individually, whether that’s through reading together, exploring their interests, or creating simple learning moments in everyday tasks. As a caregiver, I’m dependable, gentle, and adaptable. I don’t come in just to supervise; I like to really learn each child’s personality, what comforts them, what excites them, and how to support their growth. I’m also great with busy households and don’t mind pitching in with things like meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, homework help, errands, or pet care. I’ve been doing those things my whole life. I have over 7 years of experience caring for children from infancy through age 15, and I’ve had the privilege of nannying for multiple families with diverse needs and personalities. I’m open to both live-in and full-time roles depending on the family’s needs. More than anything, I care about building trust, creating a calm and happy environment, and making life a little easier for the families I work with.

Hey, parents! My name is Bruna, and I am a 32 years old nanny dedicated to make your daily life easier.

I am committed to creating a supportive and nurturing environment and I am more than happy to assist with light housekeeping tasks and meal preparation. I look forward to the possibility of joining your family and contributing to a harmonious and supportive household. Warm regards.
