I have been working with children since 2020, caring for babies (from 6 months) through teenagers, including children with special needs such as autism, behavioral, and learning challenges (ages 2–13). I’m certified by the American Red Cross in Advanced Child Care Training and by the National CPR Foundation in CPR/AED/First Aid. Since September 2025, I’ve cared for a 2-year-old toddler, responsible for meals, naps, baths, playtime (indoors and outdoors), school pickups, dinner, lunch boxes, and supporting the family with tasks such as laundry, groceries, and meal prep. From June to August 2025, I cared for a 7-month-old baby girl in Berkeley, handling bottles, introducing solids, naps, playtime, diaper changes, and daily baby care. From January to June 2025, I cared for two siblings (ages 5 and 2 - the toddler is allergic to peanuts, sunflower oil and egg) in Orinda, including school pick-up, meals, activities, park and library outings, naps, Read more and routine management. From September 2023 to December 2024, I cared for a baby girl from 7 months to preschool, managing all daily routines and developmental activities. Previously, I was an Au Pair in Maryland for one year, caring for three boys (ages 2, 8, and 12) on the autism spectrum, supporting routines, transportation, meals, medications, laundry, potty training, and daily structure. In Brazil, I worked at a daycare with around 50 children, primarily supporting toddlers with special needs.
