I have a degree in Psychology from UFRJ (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro), in Brazil. When I first came to the U.S.(96) I was a stay at home mom. my kids were 7 and 2. I've been working with kids (other than mine) since 2003. I have been serving and helping families with children ranging in ages from 4 months to 6 years old. I think it's fun and very rewarding to see any child grow, and I'm happy and proud to be a part of a child's development, as well as give parents a helping hand in their journey of raising their children.
I am energetic, reliable, and have a flexible schedule. I have worked at an after school program for the last 6 years. I worked as an instructor with grades TK through 8th grade of classes averaging 20-25 students. I have also worked as a middle school academic success advisor. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish. I have babysat my nieces and nephews currently ranging from 8 months to 17 years old.

Hi! My name is Angela, and I’m currently a student at San Francisco State University, majoring in Child and Adolescent Development with the goal of becoming an elementary school teacher! I have experience working with children of different ages, including as a paraprofessional and behavior technician, where I supported children with various developmental and behavioral needs. I’ve also been involved in children’s ministry at my church for about three years, teaching children ages 1–3 and 6–10. I absolutely love working with children! I enjoy helping with homework, tutoring, educational activities, arts and crafts, and music. I also speak both English and Spanish! I would describe myself as bubbly, outgoing, patient, nurturing, and dependable! I love bringing positive energy into everything I do and making children feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and be themselves. I look forward to meeting your family!
