$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 26 families in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Hello there! My name is Fernanda, and I'm delighted to meet you. I'm 32 years young and originally from Brazil. I've had the joy of calling the US home for the past 8 years. During this time, I've had the pleasure of working as a full-time nanny for 3 years, and since then, I've been babysitting occasionally while pursuing my studies and exploring other professional opportunities. I must say, caring for children brings me immense joy as I truly cherish their company. In Brazil, I'm lucky to have two adorable nieces, aged 9 and 3, who mean the world to me. Whenever I'm back home, I spend every moment possible with them. They hold a special place in my heart. I understand how important your little one is to you, and I want to assure you that I'll care for them as if they were my own family. Your trust means everything to me.
