Experience: 5 yrs
As a calm, patient, and creative person, I truly enjoy working with children and creating a safe and supportive environment where they can grow and feel comfortable. I have around five years of experience as a nanny and babysitter, and I'm currently studying Early Childhood Education at college. I also have experience with children with special needs through my work as an au pair for a family with three children on the autism spectrum. That experience taught me a lot about patience, communication, and understanding every child's unique needs and personality. I always try to build a good relationship with both children and parents through open communication, trust, and kindness. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, fluent in English and Portuguese, comfortable with pets, and experienced with childcare routines and daily activities. I genuinely love what I do and would love the opportunity to support and care for your family!
Giovanna was great for the day she took care of our 2 year old. She was punctual, responsive and adaptive. She took him on some fun adventures and wasn’t thrown by the fact that he started off very unsure. We loved that she was very independent and figured things out herself but also listened closely to what mattered to us. I’d recommend her!
