I am mother of a 16yo girl and a 9yo boy, worked for many years taking care of kids in range of 0 to 36 months, studied Psychology, and I’m passionate about child. I enjoy cooking, ou being engaged in outdoor activities, crafts and story telling. Since I came from Brazil 6years ago, I’ve been working as a caregiver for elderly people but kept studying child development and I I recently got certified by Positive Discipline Association and believe that a respectful and positive communication with children can provide them a safe and supportive environment to grow up and learn. I have great recommendations. I'm usually in a good mood, I like to laugh and I always see the positive side of everything, that's why I like children and dogs.

Vanessa was the best! She didn't just help babysit our toddler, she was a childhood educator and I felt like she knew everything there was to know about kids. I could tell she genuinely loved being with our daughter and often came with activities for her, which she always enjoyed! She was flexible with our schedule and always showed up with a warm smile. We wish we could keep her!
