About Acucena
Experience: 8 yrs
Hi! My name is Acucena. I'm a certified Nursing Technician with hands-on healthcare experience, as well as a former Au Pair with solid experience caring for infants, toddlers, and children of different ages. I've also worked with children with special needs, which helped me develop strong emotional awareness, patience, adaptability, and attention to detail. My background in healthcare allows me to stay calm and act quickly in emergency situations, always prioritizing safety and the child's well-being. I'm trained to recognize warning signs, follow routines precisely, and respond responsibly if something unexpected happens - which I believe brings extra peace of mind to families. I'm a calm, reliable, and attentive caregiver who truly values structure, safety, and emotional connection. I would love to connect and see if we could be a great fit for your family. I love creating a fun environment, and enjoy singing children's songs in Portuguese.
