Hi! My name is Ana Luiza, and I am 19 years old. I am currently at college majoring in Medical Assisting. I have been working with children for a couple of years and currently work at the Boys & Girls Club, where I help supervise children, assist with homework, organize educational and recreational activities, and create a safe, positive environment for kids of different ages. In addition to my current position, I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have extensive experience caring for children, especially newborns, infants, toddlers, and children up to 4 years old. I am comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, playtime, and bedtime routines. I am patient, responsible, caring, and energetic. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe. My experience working with families and in childcare settings has taught me the importance of communication, reliability, and creating a fun and nurturing environment for every child. I am fluent in Portuguese and English and also I speak a little bit of Spanish, which allows me to communicate with diverse families and even introduce children to a bilingual environment if desired. I take pride in being dependable, organized, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I look forward to supporting families and providing loving, high-quality care for their children.
“Ana Luiza has looked after my son Anthony since he was just two months old; he loves her. She is very affectionate and caring. She takes excellent care of Anthony—whenever the daycare is closed for holidays, she is always there to look after him. She is trustworthy; you can confidently leave your children in her care, knowing she will look after them exceptionally well.”
I’m someone who genuinely enjoys being around kids! I have 5+ years of experience, I’m reliable and patient, and I love keeping kids active, happy, and engaged.
“We've had the joy of working with Vitoria for a year and a half, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Vitoria helps with our two boys (5 and 7) - managing the morning routine, getting them ready and off to school, handling pickups and dropoffs, and driving them to activities. She is unfailingly punctual and reliable; in eighteen months, we have never once had to worry about whether the boys were where they needed to be, on time and in good hands. As working parents, that kind of dependability is priceless. But what sets Vitoria apart is how deeply she cares. She's warm, patient, and attentive, and our boys absolutely adore her - she's become part of the rhythm of our family. Mornings that used to be chaotic are now calm, and our kids genuinely light up when she arrives. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly wonderful with children, look no further. We'd recommend Vitoria to anyone without hesitation.”
