Hi! I love children and have been taking care of them for over 20 years. I am very energetic, love playing outdoors, reading, doing crafts, etc. In addition to being a mom myself..my experience includes being a nanny, working in daycare, a nursery school teacher, and working in a nursery at a health club.

I am a mother of a 16-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy, with many years of experience caring for children aged 0 to 36 months. I have a background in Psychology and a deep passion for working with children. I love cooking, spending time outdoors, engaging in crafts, and telling stories. Since moving from Brazil six years ago, I have worked as a caregiver for elderly individuals while continuing to study child development. Recently, I earned certification from the Positive Discipline Association, and I firmly believe that respectful and positive communication fosters a safe and supportive environment for children to grow and learn. I love to laugh, always look on the bright side of life, and enjoy the company of both children and dogs.

I am married with two grown children. Both extremely responsible and no longer living at home. I consider myself a very happy, loving, caring and well organized individual, love children and like being around people. I like being on time for others as I am very respectful of other people’s time. I have worked in healthcare for many years. Currently a housewife. Seeking to have a part time job to keep myself busy.

I also work with kids that have special needs, both toddlers.

I also do have CPR and first aid certification that wouldn't expire until 2027 and some early childhood education and training programs. In my job people would ask me what interests me working with children. It's because working with children can be incredibly rewarding, as it involves fostering growth, sparking creativity, and building meaningful relationships, all while making a positive impact on young lives. I find immense joy in helping them learn and grow.

Hello! My name is Thalya Velasco, and I am 30 years old. I have been working with children since I was 15, and I genuinely enjoy it. Over the past few years, I have primarily worked with infants and toddlers, but I am fond of children of all ages. When the weather is favorable, I enjoy taking the children outdoors, and when it is not, I engage them in puzzle-solving activities. In my leisure time, I enjoy hiking, reading, and spending time with my beloved pet. Please feel free to contact me for references or if you have any questions.
