Dear Parent, I am a college graduate and also certified in CPR and First Aid/AED.  I have over 10 years of experience taking care of children of all ages.  My specialty are infants. I am very reliable and trustworthy and would love to help a family on a full-time basis.  I can provide references upon request.  I love my job because children are my world.  I have a true passion and talent to work with children.  I am loving, energetic, reliable, and responsible.  I am also a Yoga Instructor with "Yoga for Kids" certification.  I can provide daycare for your child either in my home located in Crystal City or at parent's home (near metro). I speak Portuguese, French and Spanish.  Sincerely, Maria Helena

Maria Helena is one of the most loving people I have ever met. Its not easy for me to leave my son with a caregiver, but Maria Helena's connection with my son was almost immediate making us all feel very reassured. My son, 14 months old, warmed up to her the second he saw her. She is extremely responsible and reliable, always on time and very flexible. She is very patient, caring, playful and creative. Im very happy she watches my son when Im not able to, she provides complete peace to him. I'm very grateful I found her.
