I hold a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and have spent most of my career teaching Pre-K. As a mother of a 27-year-old daughter, I am comfortable caring for children of all ages. I am fluent in Portuguese and have a strong understanding of Spanish, which allows me to connect with children and families from diverse backgrounds. I am passionate about the outdoors, music, and the arts, and enjoy incorporating these interests into my interactions with kids.

Cleide came to watch our 11 month old boy twice. She was great with him! She had no problem with feeding him or getting him to go to sleep. She would take him outside to play, went on walks, and would sing him songs. I would recommend Cleide. She is very punctual and quick to respond. 

Cleide is a great sitter! She’s reliable and so kind to our family. I would highly recommend her. 

Cleide cares for kids in our church nursery weekly and does a fantastic job! She is extremely capable, reliable, and professional. The kids and parents both love her! I highly recommend Cleide to anyone looking for childcare.

Cleide helped us out in a pinch. Our regular babysitter got COVID, and Cleide agreed to come straight from her other job to watch our two babes for the evening. She was on time, kept in contact with us, and the kids were sleeping soundly when we got home. I'd hire her again!

Cleide is really nice and took great care of my little 5 month old son. She kept me updated on how he was doing. This was my first time leaving him alone with someone else and she helped me feel at ease.

Cleide was amazing! She was on time, took care of both my boys (2 1/2 yrs, and 4 months) and she did great with them, I came home to find the baby asleep and her playing with my toddler. He even hugged her goodbye, which he rarely does with others. Would definitely hire again!

Cleide is reliable, trustworthy, and has been a fantastic with both my toddler and my infant. I highly recommend hiring her for your childcare needs!

Cleide is the first person (outside of direct family) that I have trusted to leave my 8-week old baby with! We had just switched his formula due to tummy sensitivities - so, he was pretty fussy at the time but she handled it with grace and ease! She was fantastic with my 5-year-old as well. I will definitely hire Cleide again!

Like any mother I was nervous to have someone watch my children however when I saw Cliede interact with them, I knew they would be in safe  hands. We have a 2 yr old little girl and at the time of hiring our baby boy was 3 months old.  She is a natural with children, we have used Cliede for our weekly date nights and date days. Our kids love her, our son even lifts his hands every time he sees her- believe me- he doesn't ask anyone for that but me.  This gives me such ease. 
I highly recommend Cliede!

As two working parents, we were in a real crunch to find someone we could trust to care for our sick son on such short notice. Cleide saved the day! She was quick to respond, on time, warm and friendly and did a wonderful job with our son. We received text updates, pics and videos throughout the day and got a report at the end of the day. Most importantly, our son took to her quickly and seemed very happy in her care! 

Cleide is the best! I traveled to Dallas for work and brought my 14 years old with me.  He is on the spectrum, so I was very cautious. Cleide made me & my son very comfortable. She sent me updates on his status and was extremely kind to him.  It is without any reservations that I would recommend Cleide. She is wonderful.




Cleide has been a great babysitter for my 18month old son. She is always on time and in a pleasant mood. He really likes being with her and she takes care when feeding him, cleaning him and cleaning up dishes afterwards. I am so glad to have found her to help out some nights and  I highly recommend her!

Cleide did a great job with our son and I look forward to using her in the future! I had never left him with a sitter before and her references made me feel so at ease! Great experience:) 

Cleide is the kind of person you want to leave your child with, caring, dependable, engaged and insightful when it comes to children.  She also does this because she genuinely loves it.  I can say that I feel completely at ease when she is watching our daughter.  I would highly recommend her and add that she is really a professional worth more than what she charges!

Cleide was just great with my two young daughters.  The 3 year old was her best friend as soon as they bonded over both having dogs (& getting to see the pictures on her phone).  My 1 year old is tougher, but she had her engaged and asleep in bed with ease.  
Very sweet and would use Cleide again.

Clyde is excellent with children!  She is extremely professional, very pleasant and friendly, and best of all, my son took to her immediately.  I highly recommend her.  Would love to have her babysit anytime.

Cleide was absolutely lovely to have. She is a very punctual and dependable person to hire. My daughter loved her. I will definitely be hiring her again in the near future! 

Cleide is wonderful, a true professional who knows how to engage children. Both of our boys were drawn to her immediately and they are usually shy. She had them playing trains and laughing, without even noticing Mom and Dad were leaving.
