Hi. My name is Amada, I'm from Brazil and I've been living in Florida for 2 years with my husband, who has an MBA here in Lakeland. I've always loved children. I've taken care of many cousins who are younger than me, and one day I dream of being a mother. Because I'm very close to children, I decided to work as a babysitter as soon as I arrived in the United States. I've worked for 3 families here in the city with children ranging from 2 to 10 years old. I really enjoy playing, talking and taking care of them. I have my own vehicle, so I can also pick the children up from school or take them to appointments. I also have very flexible hours. :)
