I am a 28 year old from Brazil with a passion for learning and exploring. I spent two years in the United States, where I had an incredible experience caring for children as an au pair. This time deepened my love for working with kids and shaped me into a more empathetic and responsible person. After that, I continued pursuing international experiences and later moved to Canada, where I lived in Vancouver and studied while immersing myself in Canadian culture. I am now living in Ottawa while pursuing my studies, and I truly enjoy being part of a multicultural environment. I am a person who loves traveling, exploring new places, and experiencing different cultures. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, whether it’s visiting parks, hiking, running, swimming, or simply discovering new places around the city. Reading and finding new spots to explore are also some of my favorite ways to spend my free time. My friends often describe me as cheerful, easy-going, caring, and creative - qualities I take pride in and believe would make me an excellent fit for working with families that value someone who genuinely cares and brings positive energy into their home. The most significant experience in my childcare career was as an Au Pair in the US from Jan 2022 to Jan 2024. I cared for a boy and a girl, ages 1 and 3 when I started, and I remained with them until they were nearly 4 and 6. My schedule was typically from Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. In the mornings, I stayed with the 1 year old girl, where I planned activities for her development. We went on walks, enjoyed sensory play, and I introduced her to new skills every day. In the afternoons, I took care of both children together. This included picking the boy up from school, preparing snacks, and taking them to parks, libraries, or swimming pools. I also organized fun indoor activities such as arts and crafts - creativity is one of my strengths, and I love coming up with new projects for kids to enjoy! As the children got older and started attending school, I would help them get ready in the mornings, prepare lunch, and drop them off. After school, I would pick them up, offer a snack, and create a quiet time activity before engaging in outdoor play to burn off energy. I was also responsible for managing bedtime routines, making them a fun and peaceful moment of the day. These experiences taught me how much I truly love working with children. For me, childcare isn’t just about fulfilling responsibilities, it’s about teaching, learning, and promoting a nurturing environment where children can grow up happily. I understand that children are a reflection of us, and I feel fulfilled being a part of their development. I find creative ways to make tasks fun and engaging while encouraging them to take responsibility in a positive manner. I am patient, and I believe that communication is key in all aspects of life, including with children. Whether it’s explaining tasks, setting expectations, or simply listening to their needs, clear communication helps build trust and understanding. My focus is on promoting a safe and stimulating environment where children can learn, play, and grow. I am dedicated to making every moment with a child meaningful, whether we are exploring new activities, learning new skills, or simply enjoying quality time together.
