I’m 35 years old and originally from Brazil. I moved to the U.S. in 2014 and have been working as a nanny ever since. Before coming here, I taught basic English to children of all ages, and over the years I’ve had the privilege of caring for kids ranging from newborns to teenagers. In addition to my work as a nanny, I’m also a certified birth and postpartum doula. This experience has deepened my understanding of newborn care, family dynamics, and how to support parents during such an important and sensitive transition. I’m very comfortable with infant care, recovery support, routines, and creating a calm, nurturing environment for both baby and parents. Alongside childcare, I have a genuine passion for keeping spaces clean, organized, and well-structured. I believe a tidy and intentional home creates a more peaceful and efficient environment for everyone. Whether it’s organizing toys, maintaining play areas, or helping the household run more smoothly, I truly enjoy making spaces feel fresh and aligned. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out — I’d love to chat. My video is a bit outdated, but please feel free to call me anytime 😊 Hope to hear from you soon, Laisa

Hello all, I am a young Human Resources professional and have been working with children 10+ years. When I was a teen, I discovered that I had a tremendous passion for making kids laugh, learning how and why kids think the way they do, and simply being in a happy-spirited environment. My first babysitting job consisted of three children when I was only 15 years old. Yes, it was a handful but I learned to work around the unexpected interaction. Since then I was recommend to more than five different families, which is when I learned I could not use the same babysitting skill or routine for each family. Furthermore, as a psychology major, I have enhanced my leadership skills as a tutor in two educational programs: Coleman Leap and Next Generation Scholars. These programs have required me to help students (either ages seven to nine or eleven to sixteen) with doing homework, studying for tests, and playing recreational activities. I am a very kind, patient, and friendly babysitter; I try my best to interact with the kids and demonstrate respect. Please feel free to email, call, or text me if you would like to know more or need a sitter. I am only available for ocasional date nights and overnight weekend gigs. I am also wiling to provide references! - Kathleen
