Hello families! My name is Mariana, and I have over five years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I’ve worked as a full-time nanny and live-in caregiver, creating safe, nurturing, and fun environments where children can learn, explore, and grow. I love planning engaging activities, preparing healthy meals, and supporting families with daily routines. I’m a safe, confident driver with a clean record and comfortable transporting kids. I speak four languages — Portuguese (fluent), English (advanced), Spanish (upper-intermediate), and Japanese (basic) — which helps me connect with families from different cultures. I’m currently completing my prerequisites for Nursing School at NOVA, so I’m looking for a flexible position that allows me to balance my studies while continuing to do what I love. Families describe me as responsible, trustworthy, and positive. I look forward to meeting your family! — Mariana
