About Mariana

Hello families! I'm Mariana, a dedicated childcare professional with over 10 years of experience, including two years as an au pair. I specialize in infant and toddler care and truly enjoy supporting children through each stage of their development. I hold a degree in Physical Therapy and postgraduate training in Public Health in Brazil, with experience in child development, health education, and working with families. I'm also a Certified Newborn Care Specialist and CPR certified. I'm nurturing, patient, energetic, and safety-focused. I enjoy creating age-appropriate activities that encourage movement, language, curiosity, independence, and learning through play. I'm comfortable with feeding, naps, routines, outings, and developmental transitions. I value open communication and strong partnerships with parents. I'm fluent in English and Portuguese, have reliable transportation, and would love to learn more about your family!
