Bruna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hiiiii! My name is Bruna, and I am a dedicated, responsible, and compassionate childcare provider with extensive experience caring for children of different ages, abilities, and needs. I am truly passionate about supporting children’s development and creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where they can thrive. I worked for two years at a school with children ages 6 to 14, supporting them primarily with reading, literature, and educational activities. In addition, I have hands-on experience with younger children, including caring for one-year-old twin babies for five months, where I was responsible for feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, and daily care. I also have strong experience working with children with special needs. I cared for a girl with cerebral palsy for one year, providing attentive, individualized, and compassionate support. I have also cared for a 6-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl, including overnight care, ensuring their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. Currently, I work with a non-verbal child with level 3 autism, which has strengthened my skills in patience, routine-based care, alternative communication, and emotional regulation. I am highly adaptable and comfortable tailoring my care to each child’s unique needs while maintaining clear communication and trust with families. I take my role very seriously and always strive to provide high-quality care in a loving, calm, and supportive environment. Building strong relationships with both children and parents is a priority for me, and I am fully committed to being a reliable and positive presence in each child’s life. plussss: I love animals 🐶🐱🐹🐷

"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!"
