Hi there :) thank you for clicking on my profile! I’ve been working with kids for over 9 years now and I think I can say I've truly found my passion! I have a teaching background and I love to make my work meaningful and mindful, always making sure I’m present for my kids helping them grow and develop as beings. My teaching style leans more towards Waldorf and Montessori and I prefer to work for no screens families (even better if you don’t have TV at home). I’m from Brazil and I speak Portuguese and English fluently. I’m very responsible and proactive, I tend to fix things as I go instead of being asked to do it. I have a CPR certificate and First Aid Training. I play the ukulele and I’m also a certified Music Together teacher, I legit sing ALL THE TIME. If you’re into music we’ll definitely get along! I make sure to always have my ukulele with me for awesome dance parties and music time. I graduated as a Health Coach back in 2020 and I’m now studying Plant Based cuisine. I absolutely love cooking and will have the best time cooking healthy meals for your family and maybe even getting the kids involved in the mess! I also love baking so I might bring a cake to share every now and then! I’m a morning person and love to look at the bright side of things! So I think a big sum up of me would be a mix of music, health, good food and lots of happiness! I like to work for families that value the work I do and care about growing as individuals and learning together. Having a safe environment for open communication is very important to me! Thank you so much for reading my profile :) if you feel like we could be a good match please don’t hesitate to contact me! You can find more info on my cooking schedule on manuelalilliston.com/
“Manuela brought such wonderful energy to our home and was immediately a natural with our kids. My 10 month old warmed up to her right away. She even prepped some food and left the house tidy. Would absolutely work with her again!”
Hi everyone. I am glad to get to know each family I work for. I speak Portuguese and English. I have experience with ages between 6 months to 15 years old. I have a couple of years of experience with kids back in my home country and here in the USA. Glad to answer any question you have. Thank you
Hello! Ive been working with children my entire working life. I began teaching swimming lessons to infants through pre-teens, babysitting infants-toddlers, and working as a high school mentor before going to college. I got a degree in Spanish literature and language in WA state (University of Puget Sound) and taught middle and high school in Andorra as a Fulbright fellow (borders Spain and France). After returning to the US, I went to Stanford to get my Masters in Education and worked with students for seven years across the Bay Area. I now work as a preschool/infant Montessori style educator/nanny, mentor, tutor, and educational consultant, in addition to pursuing my art in fusion dance and vocal performance. I love children, believe it is a life mission to help them feel understood and empowered, and have been described as quite the "Mary Poppins" advice, lullabies, and giant bag included :-) **Update: While I am currently looking for part-time and/or tutoring help, I am also available for occasional babysitting on the weekends/week nights!
Hi! I'm a part-time student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for working with children. I spent several years as a camp counselor working with special needs children through high school and college, which gave me a deep appreciation for patient, attentive, and individualized care. I have a background in engineering which means I'm reliable, detail oriented, and great at problem solving. I also grew up in a Chinese household with Mandarin as my first language, which I'm happy to incorporate naturally into our time together if that's something your family values. I'm calm, warm, and genuinely enjoy engaging with kids through play, creative activities, reading, and exploring. I believe every child deserves to feel seen and supported. I have a pediatric CPR, AED and first aid certification, and am taking child development courses. I’m happy to provide references :)
I have over 20 years of experience caring for all ages of children including over 10 years working exclusively with twin infants and toddlers. As a full-time nanny and family assistant I also helped with light housekeeping, driving children to school/activities, pet care, and preparing meals. My warm and energetic personality combined with an extensive knowledge base in childcare and developmentally appropriate activities allows me to fit in seamlessly with families and their specific needs. I am able to connect with children immediately and I often amaze parents with how quickly their “slow-to-warm” little engages with me. In addition to providing a safe and nurturing environment I bring a proactive approach to my work with families and truly enjoy offering support and pitching in. I am also available to help with deep cleaning projects, packing/unpacking, preparing for a move, and organizational projects in the home. I have a B.S. in Health Sciences and in my non-childcare hours I work as a marketing and web design consultant.
