Experience: 9 yrs
Nurturing young minds and supporting families is my passion! My nine years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, has solidified my commitment to fostering their growth and development. I have a college degree and maintain current certifications in CPR and First Aid. I am patient, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities with children. I am comfortable caring for up to two children and enforcing household rules. I communicate with parents through daily reports, text, or phone calls, depending on your preference. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I am eager to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family.
We have known and loved Clara since the summer of 2016, when she began working with my son, who was then five years old. She stayed with us for a month at our family home. Over the years became a steady and nurturing presence-regularly caring for him while moving between his father’s home in New Jersey and mine in New York. Clara navigated this delicate situation with extraordinary grace, discretion, and unwavering reliability. My son has ADHD, and Clara’s gentle, grounding presence had a profound impact on him. She introduced him to meditation, engaged him in thoughtful conversations, and became a calming, loving presence in our home. She also happens to be a wonderful cook, creating delicious and nourishing meals for our family. Beyond caregiving, she guided me toward holistic remedies and DBT techniques that have helped my family enormously. Clara embodies kindness, creativity, and thoughtfulness. Though she left for a few years to work full-time with another family, we remained in close touch. In recent years, she has continued to support us in meaningful ways, spending time with my now-teenage son when I travel, picking him up late at night after a delayed flight, and continuing their meditation practice together. He adores her, and so do I. Clara is a rare and beautiful soul, and anyone lucky enough to work with her will feel her warmth, wisdom, and deep care.
