Hey there! I’m a reliable and caregiver with a passion for supporting children of all backgrounds, including those who are neurodivergent or have more complex emotional and behavioral needs. I bring a calm, patient presence and focus on building trust and consistency for every child with whom I work. As a trans woman, I value creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment where every child feels respected, understood, and free to express themselves. I’m especially experienced working with K–12 children who may have challenging temperaments, sensory sensitivities, or unique communication styles.
My name is Pêtra, I am 27 years old, and I am from Brazil. I have extensive experience in childcare, and currently, I take care of a 1-year-old baby, and I also help care for two children, ages 7 and 8, who are autistic. I previously worked as a daycare teacher. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and Literature, which has given me a strong understanding of child development and learning processes. In addition, I have experience working with children of different age groups. I am a caring, responsible, and proactive person who always strives to create a safe, fun, and educational environment for children. I am excited to continue applying my skills and contributing to the well-being and development of little ones!
