Hi families! 💕
My name is Clarissa, I’m 30 years old, originally from Brazil, and I’m an experienced, loving, and dedicated nanny with over 10 years of childcare experience and more than 15,000 hours caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids.
My passion for working with children started in Brazil, where I worked at a church-based daycare caring for infants and toddlers ages 0–3. I also gained experience as a preschool and first-grade teacher during my Education studies.
After moving to the United States, I continued building my childcare career, working with several wonderful families throughout the Bay Area.
My experience includes:
* Caring for siblings ages 4 and 6.
* Working with siblings ages 5 and 7.
* Providing infant care for newborn twins, including feeding, diaper changes, naps, and developmental activities.
* Caring for toddlers and school-aged children, including children on the autism spectrum.
* Planning age-appropriate educational activities, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and creative play.
* Supporting daily routines, emotional development, independence, and positive behavior.
My childcare philosophy ❤️
I believe children thrive when they feel loved, safe, heard, and understood. I value gentle communication, patience, positive reinforcement, and creating an environment where children can learn, explore, and grow with confidence.
I also believe that open, honest communication with parents is essential. My goal is to work as a team with each family, respecting their parenting style, routines, and expectations.
I’m fluent in Portuguese, speak advanced English, and feel completely comfortable communicating with families in English.
A little more about me!
One of the most meaningful experiences of my life has been becoming a mother myself! Being a mom has given me an even deeper understanding of the love, responsibility, patience, and trust involved in caring for a child.
I genuinely LOVE working with children. Being a nanny isn’t just a job to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and take pride in.
I’m reliable, patient, energetic, organized, and always happy to bring creativity, kindness, and a positive attitude into your home.
I would love the opportunity to meet your family and become someone you and your little ones can truly count on!
Looking forward to connecting with you! 💕
