Hi! I’m Kamilla (this is my middle name). I’m originally from Brazil and moved to the U.S. with my family in November 2024. I worked as a registered nurse in Brazil and plan to validate my nursing license in the U.S. in the long term. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and a postgraduate degree in Neonatal Nursing, with over 15 years of experience in neonatal intensive care. I also serve in the children’s ministry at my church (With babies from 0 to 2 years old) for over a year, at least two Sundays per month, and I take paid weekday shifts there as well. I have a lot of experience caring for newborns, infants, and young children, including premature babies and newborns with special medical needs. I’m also a mom of two boys (ages 7 and 13), and I truly enjoy caring for children of all ages. I like spending time with kids through reading, playtime, outdoor walks, and calm activities that support their development. I always focus on creating a safe, loving, and relaxed environment. Thanks to my nursing background, I’m calm and confident in emergency situations and able to provide first aid or follow specific care instructions when needed. I’m reliable, organized, have a clean background check, a valid driver’s license, and my own car. I’d be happy to care for your child and support your family with warmth, responsibility, and professionalism.

“Luanna was great. Very punctual, professional, and excellent with kids.”

Hi Families! ♥︎ My name is Isabella, and I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones! I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to teenagers. One of my most valuable experiences was working as an Au Pair for two years, where I lived with a wonderful family and became a big part of the children’s daily lives. I helped with school drop-offs and pick-ups, transportation to sports and activities, homework, meals, playdates, bedtime routines, and everything in between. What I love most about childcare is building genuine connections with children and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and be themselves. I am naturally very patient, caring, and energetic, and I truly enjoy being involved in the activities children love. I am a very creative person and enjoy planning crafts, games, outdoor adventures, baking activities, story time, imaginative play, and age-appropriate learning activities. I believe children thrive when they are engaged and having fun, so I try to keep screen time to a minimum and encourage hands-on activities whenever possible. I also volunteered as a teacher’s assistant in a kindergarten classroom and have experience caring for children with medical needs, including administering asthma medications and inhalers under parental guidance. In addition, I am a Certified Phlebotomist, which has given me professional healthcare experience and strengthened my attention to safety, responsibility, and caring for others. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, a non-smoker, comfortable around pets, have reliable transportation, and maintain a clean driving record. I have been living in the United States since 2017 and am happily married. Families often describe me as dependable, trustworthy, kind, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I always strive to provide parents with peace of mind while ensuring their children feel safe, happy, and cared for. My goal is simple: to create a positive experience for both parents and children, and to become someone your kids are excited to see again! I look forward to meeting your family! ❤️

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
