I am an experienced childcare professional, educator, and Educational Psychologist with over 12 years of experience supporting children and families. I began my career in Brazil, where I worked as a teacher and owned a daycare, caring for children from 8 months to 12 years old while creating engaging, developmentally appropriate learning experiences, including art education. Since moving to the United States, I have continued my passion for childcare by working with newborns, toddlers, school-aged children, and families. I also enjoy helping with light household organization and pet care. As both a professional caregiver and a mother of three (now ages 23, 21, and 18), I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and well-organized environment where children can thrive. I am proactive, dependable, and family-oriented, always looking for ways to support children’s development while making parents’ daily lives easier. I have my own reliable vehicle, maintain full insurance, Read more and have a clean, safe driving record. For the past two years, I have been working with a wonderful child with Down syndrome, helping support her cognitive, social, and emotional development. To better serve children with diverse needs, I continue pursuing specialized certifications and professional development in developmental disabilities and cognitive behavior strategies. Building strong, trusting relationships with families is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. I believe every child deserves individualized care, encouragement, and opportunities to reach their full potential. If you’re looking for a compassionate, experienced, and dedicated caregiver who truly partners with families, I’d love to connect. References and referrals are available upon request.

We would highly recommend Josinete. She was able to very quickly build a raport with our 7 year old girl, and was a consumate professional -- adapting to the household routine quickly and professionally. Her many years of childcare experience definitely shone through and the kids have asked that we hire her again.
