I have a degree in Psychology from UFRJ (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro), in Brazil. When I first came to the U.S.(96) I was a stay at home mom. my kids were 7 and 2. I've been working with kids (other than mine) since 2003. I have been serving and helping families with children ranging in ages from 4 months to 6 years old. I think it's fun and very rewarding to see any child grow, and I'm happy and proud to be a part of a child's development, as well as give parents a helping hand in their journey of raising their children.

Adai Daly City
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Adai. I love working with kids and am currently going to school to become a teacher because helping children learn and grow has always been my passion. I already have college credits toward my education and enjoy gaining more experience with children whenever I can. I have several years of experience working with kids through my church, where I’ve helped supervise activities, teach lessons, and create a safe, fun environment. I also helped care for my niece starting when she was 8 months old, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, diaper changes, playtime, naps, and bedtime routines. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and caring, and I always make sure children feel safe, supported, and happy. I enjoy reading stories, doing crafts, playing games, and encouraging learning through fun activities. I would love the opportunity to care for your family and build a trusting relationship with you and your children’s!
