I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy caring for children and being part of their daily growth and routine. I started working with kids in Brazil, where I worked at a children’s party and event buffet, taking care of kids, organizing activities, and ensuring their safety and fun. After that, I came to the United States as an au pair, where I gained even more hands-on experience caring for children of different ages in a family environment. I have first aid training completed through my au pair program, which prepared me to handle emergencies calmly and responsibly. I am also very organized and proactive — I help with cooking, cleaning, organizing children’s spaces, daily routines, and overall care. I am responsible, patient, and always focused on providing a safe, caring, and positive environment for children.
