Hello Families!
My name is Thais, and I’m a warm, responsible, and highly experienced Newborn Care Specialist and Nanny. With 12 years of experience caring for newborns, toddlers, and young children, I bring both confidence and a nurturing touch to each home I join.
I specialize in creating calm, structured, and stimulating environments for children, using a Montessori-inspired approach that encourages independence, emotional intelligence, and respect. I’m fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish and French; I often incorporate storytelling and playful learning in different languages into our daily routine.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Administration with International Business. I'm CPR/First Aid trained (infants, children, and adults). I’ve completed over 12 childcare-related courses, including:
- Safe Sleep Practices
- Lactation Support
- Newborn Sleep Conditioning
- Infant Massage
- Baby Sign Language
- Child Nutrition & Cooking
- Car Seat Safety
- Water Safety Awareness
- Early Childhood Development
- Positive Discipline for Toddlers
- Montessori Fundamentals
- Introduction to Psychology
I’ve supported families with:
- Infant sleep training
- Baby-led weaning
- Potty training
- Routine building
- Developmental transitions
- Overnight care
- Nanny Share and experience with multiples
Work Style & Strengths:
- Reliable, adaptable, and proactive

- Pet-friendly
- Strong and safe driver — clean driving record, experienced in all conditions (including snow), with no accidents

I genuinely love supporting each child's unique journey, always meeting them with patience, empathy, and presence.
I work closely with families to build trust, consistency, and joy in every stage of early development.
I’d love to learn more about your family and see if we’re a great fit!
