About Ester
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! My name is Ester and I have around 13 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-age. I spent 5 years working in schools and daycare centers, and I hold a degree in Psychology with a specialization in Child Development from my home country, Brazil. I also have certification in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and experience working with children with special needs, including autism and developmental delays. I'm very patient, communicative, and genuinely passionate about supporting each child's individual needs. I speak Portuguese as my first language and have advanced English skills. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have strong references available, and I drive with a clean record.
Most recent review
We are very happy to recommend Ester as a nanny. She started taking care of our son when he was just 8 months old, and now at 17 months, he has a beautiful and special bond with her. Ester was the first person — besides us and the grandparents — to successfully put him down for a nap, and it went perfectly. Our 3-year-old daughter also adores her and talks about her all the time. Both of our children feel very comfortable and happy with Ester. She is incredibly calm, patient, and caring. We truly enjoy having her as our occasional babysitter, and whoever has the chance to work with her will be very lucky.
