Hi everyone!
My name is Diego, I’m 27 years old and originally from Brazil. I’ve been living in the U.S. for almost six years and recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. While my academic background is in business, my heart has always been with children and community work.
My journey with kids began when I was 15 years old. I worked as a children’s party monitor for four years, where I was responsible for caring for kids, feeding them, organizing games, dancing, face painting, and creating a fun and safe environment. That experience sparked my passion for childcare and led me to the U.S., where I became an au pair.
Over the past two years, I’ve been caring for two amazing boys, now aged 6 and 8. My daily responsibilities include waking them up, preparing meals, driving them to and from school, helping with homework, taking them to their activities (like soccer, baseball, and basketball), doing their laundry, cooking for them, and helping maintain their routine. It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience, teaching me responsibility, empathy, and a deep appreciation for child development.
In addition to childcare, I coach youth soccer through Project Play Potrero, a community program in San Francisco. I work with children from kindergarten through sixth grade at schools like Live Oak. Coaching allows me to share my passion for soccer while helping kids build confidence, teamwork skills, and a love for physical activity. Seeing them grow on and off the field is one of my favorite parts of the week.
I would describe myself as mature, friendly, reliable, patient, organized, easygoing, and communicative. I naturally connect with kids and always aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where they can thrive. I also enjoy helping families feel confident that their children are in capable and caring hands.
On a personal note, I come from a big family in Brazil—I have three sisters, two brothers, and a small dog named Malu. She’s a wild little miniature pinscher who used to wait for me at the stairs every day after work. I miss her deeply and can’t wait to see her again. I loved taking her for car rides, to dog parks, and spoiling her with toys (even if she destroyed them in minutes!).
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and bring positive energy, care, and reliability into your home.
