I am a 37 year-old early childhood teacher from Chile. While studying during college, I spent a summer babysitting for a family whose mother needed assistance watching a 2 year-old while caring for her newborn. I was responsible for clothing and feeding the child and enjoyed doing some activities with him. I worked in my home country following my studies as a rural public school teacher for a year and a half. My nine students ranged in age from 4 to 6. After that, I came to the United States under a work visa to work as a Spanish teacher in a private school in Massachusetts for one year and a half, developing activities for toddlers. After I finished my contract with the school, I worked as a babysitter for infants and toddlers. Until I moved to the United States (March 2024), I taught in a Catholic school. I worked Read more there for 7 and a half years as a Pre-K and Kindergarten teacher. I managed a class size of 34 students with a co-teacher. I did remote teaching during the pandemic and am comfortable leading online classes. I love storytelling. I took online classes in storytelling and it is one of my student’s favorite activities. I really enjoy singing and I believe that it’s a great way to release stress and an amazing tool I have used in my teaching. I am fluent in English and Spanish.

Fernanda was amazing with our son! He has special needs and doesn’t warm up to people usually, but as soon as he met Fernanda he was comfortable. She gave me ease that my child was safe while I was at work and that’s such a blessing. I highly recommend her!
