Booked by 3 families in Daly City, CA

I’m a nanny and early childhood educator with over 9 years of experience, caring for children of all ages — from infants to school-age kids. Experience includes: • Nanny in Brazil in the U.S., and Chile (+ than 5 years) • Au pair in the U.S (San Carlos CA) • Teacher assistant in early childhood education These international experiences helped me develop strong communication skills and a deep understanding of different family cultures and parenting styles. Qualifications: • Degree in Early Childhood Education (Brazil) • Fluent in English and Portuguese • Basic Spanish I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m responsible, caring, and truly committed to supporting each child’s growth and happiness. I joined Urbansitter in 2020, but soon after returned to Brazil and recently moved back to the U.S., which explains my limited reviews. I’m now excited to be active again and fully available for babysitting.

With respect to the health of my clients, and myself, I do not work with contagious kids/families for occasional bookings, I'll only consider sick care for longer term jobs. Hi parents!

My experience is versatile, gained over many years of working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and early school-age children, occasionally extending to older age groups.
