I'm available most weeknights and mornings I have over 22 years of childcare experience caring for children of all ages and backgrounds. I'm energetic, engaging, and love creating fun, age-appropriate enrichment activities, while also being attentive to specific routines and preferences. For infants and toddlers, experienced in bottle and meal preparation/feeding, diaper changes, potty training, bath and bedtime routines, and following set schedules. For older children, I have a background in tutoring students from elementary school through Bolivia college so I'm happy to help with academic work. I'm also fluent in Spanish and Portuguese. I have experience caring for children with disabilities and specialized needs. I'm happy to work closely with your family to ensure consistency with therapies, behavioral strategies, sensory needs, and other care plans. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and I'm committed to providing a safe, reliable, and positive environment for your children. I'm also comfortable public transportation, and caring for multiple children, including twins . I also have a valid driver's license and clean driving record if transportation is needed. While the safety of your family is my top priority, I'm also happy to help with light household tasks, pet care, errands, and other family needs.

Hi! I’m Kamilla (this is my middle name). I’m originally from Brazil and moved to the U.S. with my family in November 2024. I worked as a registered nurse in Brazil and plan to validate my nursing license in the U.S. in the long term. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and a postgraduate degree in Neonatal Nursing, with over 15 years of experience in neonatal intensive care. I also serve in the children’s ministry at my church (With babies from 0 to 2 years old) for over a year, at least two Sundays per month, and I take paid weekday shifts there as well. I have a lot of experience caring for newborns, infants, and young children, including premature babies and newborns with special medical needs. I’m also a mom of two boys (ages 7 and 13), and I truly enjoy caring for children of all ages. I like spending time with kids through reading, playtime, outdoor walks, and calm activities that support their development. I always focus on creating a safe, loving, and relaxed environment. Thanks to my nursing background, I’m calm and confident in emergency situations and able to provide first aid or follow specific care instructions when needed. I’m reliable, organized, have a clean background check, a valid driver’s license, and my own car. I’d be happy to care for your child and support your family with warmth, responsibility, and professionalism.

“Luanna was great. Very punctual, professional, and excellent with kids.”

Hi Families! ♥︎ My name is Isabella, and I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones! I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to teenagers. One of my most valuable experiences was working as an Au Pair for two years, where I lived with a wonderful family and became a big part of the children’s daily lives. I helped with school drop-offs and pick-ups, transportation to sports and activities, homework, meals, playdates, bedtime routines, and everything in between. What I love most about childcare is building genuine connections with children and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and be themselves. I am naturally very patient, caring, and energetic, and I truly enjoy being involved in the activities children love. I am a very creative person and enjoy planning crafts, games, outdoor adventures, baking activities, story time, imaginative play, and age-appropriate learning activities. I believe children thrive when they are engaged and having fun, so I try to keep screen time to a minimum and encourage hands-on activities whenever possible. I also volunteered as a teacher’s assistant in a kindergarten classroom and have experience caring for children with medical needs, including administering asthma medications and inhalers under parental guidance. In addition, I am a Certified Phlebotomist, which has given me professional healthcare experience and strengthened my attention to safety, responsibility, and caring for others. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, a non-smoker, comfortable around pets, have reliable transportation, and maintain a clean driving record. I have been living in the United States since 2017 and am happily married. Families often describe me as dependable, trustworthy, kind, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I always strive to provide parents with peace of mind while ensuring their children feel safe, happy, and cared for. My goal is simple: to create a positive experience for both parents and children, and to become someone your kids are excited to see again! I look forward to meeting your family! ❤️
