Hi families! I'm Maria Laura, I'm 30 years old and I'm from Brazil. The first thing that you need to know about me is that I will always give my best for your kids. I will always provide the best care possible and make sure they are safe and happy. I studied psychology and I'm very interested in child development. I'm working with children for more than 10 years: in schools, kindergarten, nanny including with special needs. I loved all my works and I'm really grateful! I have kept in me a lot of love for the kids that have gone through my life. If you want and if you allow me, I will be really happy teaching Portuguese to your children's. Also, I'm really patient and proactive! I love to discover activities to do with them but I also like to hear about them and what they like or would like to do. I was raised with the Montessori philosophy and I studied it for a while as well. I am also full vaccinated + booster If you have any question, is gonna be a pleasure to answer! Thank you so much.

Hello, I'm Sumeya, a student with a deep passion for working with children. My long-term goal is to become a pediatrician, and in the meantime, I am gaining hands-on experience as a caregiver. Last year, I worked with Amicable Healthcare as a full-time caregiver for two families and have also assisted children with disabilities. Through these experiences, including caring for infants, I've developed a genuine love for nurturing children in a safe, engaging environment. I am an energetic, physically active person with a strong interest in sports like soccer, basketball, and biking. Although I have a slight phobia of dogs, I’m actively working on overcoming it and I’m open to working in homes with dogs. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable with housework and running errands. I hold a valid first aid and CPR certification, ensuring I can respond appropriately in emergency situations. My love for children extends beyond basic care—I also enjoy teaching them creative activities like painting and engaging in outdoor adventures. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the growth and development of children while creating a positive and nurturing environment.

Hello, I'm Fatuma, a student with a passion for working with children. In 2023, I worked as a camp aide teacher at the Pacific Science Center. Due to my religion, I cannot work with dogs; but willing to work with any other animals.I am capable of handling housework and running nearby errands. I've completed a first aid class, holding a valid certificate, and plan to retake the course for a refresher soon. Seeing the kids I work with grow and show their personality is the reason why I love being a babysitter/nanny. I enjoy reading, cooking and baking, going to the park, watching movies, going out to have fun, etc.
