Hi families! My name is Ana, and I am an experienced and dedicated childcare provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for children from newborns to 7 years old. I have a strong background working with multiple children at once, including my 3 years as an au pair in the U.S., where I cared for 4+ children simultaneously while managing daily routines, school drop-offs, activities, and transportation. I am confident handling busy households and creating a structured, safe, and nurturing environment. I am CPR and First Aid certified (including infants), have extensive experience with newborn care, and understand the importance of routines, safe sleep, and developmental milestones. I truly enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities that support their growth—whether that’s sensory play for infants, creative learning, or outdoor activities. In addition, I am currently pursuing my MBA, which reflects my strong sense of responsibility, organization, and commitment. I Read more bring a professional approach to childcare and value clear communication with families. I am also a safe and reliable driver with experience transporting children to school and activities. As a native Portuguese speaker with Spanish proficiency, I am happy to introduce children to new languages if desired. I am currently looking for part-time opportunities, with a focus on evening/night care and weekend support. I am happy to assist with date nights, overnight newborn care, or weekend routines. I would love to connect and see how I can support your family!

Ana Carolina was awesome! She showed up early and asked us a lot of questions about the girls before we left (which really made us feel at ease). My older daughter had so much fun with her and it’s obvious that she loves being around kids! Will absolutely use her again!

I can't say enough about how amazing Ana was as a babysitter for my 5 month old. Her knowledge of baby care was impressive. She knew exactly how to feed, change diapers, and comfort my child. Her expertise gave me peace of mind, knowing my baby was in good hands.

Ana Carolina was amazing with my 18 month old son. She immediately started playing with him to make him comfortable. She was kind, attentive and fully engaged. She was on time and great with communication. We will absolutely book her again!!
