Meet Raquel

  • Comfortable with pets

Hello! I'm a Brazilian with a degree in architecture, and a member of the Presbyterian Church. I have a special passion for caring for children and have accumulated 4 years of experience in this field, both as a nanny at home and taking care of little ones at church. Here in the United States I worked as a babysitter in Chicago and in house cleaning here in Columbia. My parents were military in Brazil, both lieutenants, so I have discipline and order. My commitment is to ensure a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for the healthy development of the children under my care. Nothing better than being honest. I have intermediate English skills, but I'm taking an English course and I'm here to save money and focus on my goals. I have driver license. I don’t have work permit, i have only my Brazilian visa and my tax id. :) Read more I have 25 years old. I LOVE PETS 🫶🏻

Raquel was a great help to my family, very personable, communicative and showed up on time. My child was very pleased having her around and shared with me the activities they did together the next day. She was also helpful with organizing all play areas and general areas. I definitely recommend her for other families.
