Giovana $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Giovana! 😊 I’m originally from Brazil and have been living in the Bay Area for about three years now. I’m a teacher in Brazil, and since moving to the us, I’ve been looking for opportunities where I can apply the experience I gained back home. I worked as a teacher for about four years before moving here, but I’ve always had kids around me! I grew up helping take care of my younger sisters and also worked as a nanny in Brazil. I was an au pair in the us for two years, and after finishing my program, I continued working as a nanny. I’ve now been nannying for a little over a year since then. I graduated in Brazil with a degree in Education/Pedagogy and also have extensive experience working with children with special needs. I’m mostly available on Fridays and weekends, and I’d love to connect with families who could use a little extra help during the weekend! 😊💕 • CPR certified • Advanced English speaker • Basic Spanish speaker • Valid driver’s license with no restrictions thanks families!
