Hello , let me introduce myself. My name is Waldineia. I have two boys of my own, which one of them is 25 years old and the younger who is 15 years old. I used to be a pre-school teacher in my home town in Brasil. I have been living in Marin county for 25 years. Since then, I have been working as a nanyny. I have a lot of experience working with infants ( twins), toddler, and children almost any age. I like to explore nature and do outside activities with them. I always treat the children with respect and caring as they were my own. I’m passionate to being around them. I love watching young minds grow and learn. Looking forward to providing your family care and support.

I have worked in the professional nanny industry for close to fifteen years. Before that, I worked as an occasional babysitter and camp counselor. I’m certified in first aid and infant/child/adult CPR. I have an undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies (social science concentration) from The Catholic University of America. As well as a graduate certificate in human services from Wilmington University. I’m a patient and empathetic person. I think children have a contagious sense of wonder and happiness. They truly make the world a better place. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting jobs outside my regular nanny position. I look forward to hearing from you!
