Experience: 20 yrs
Hi families! My name is Sandra, and I have over 20 years of experience working with children as a teacher in Brazil. I believe children learn through play, daily experiences, outdoor activities, and positive interactions. I value long-term relationships with families based on trust, communication, and mutual respect. I started working with children when I was 15 years old as a teacher's assistant in a daycare, and I never stopped. After moving to the United States, I decided to continue working with children as a nanny because being part of their growth and development is something I truly love. In my spare time, I enjoy camping and spending time with my family. One thing families should know about me is that I genuinely enjoy being around children and being part of their growth. My skills include encouraging learning through play and daily activities, and helping children build confidence, independence, and positive interactions with others.
I cannot recommend Sandra highly enough. She was our son’s nanny for nearly two years (from when he was 2 years, 8 months old until 4.5 years old), and she became like family to us. We only stopped working with her because my son started TK, otherwise, we would have kept her forever! In fact, my son still loves her. Here is why Sandra is extraordinary: 1. Background and Early Childhood Focus: As a former teacher, Sandra brings structure and educational values to her caregiving. She regularly engaged my son in creative crafts to develop his fine motor skills and helped him master his letters and numbers. 2. Reliable and Goes Above and Beyond: She was never absent and never late. Sandra is very dependable, proactive, and constantly goes above and beyond what is expected. 3. Safety First: As a parent, peace of mind is priceless, and Sandra delivered just that. She is extremely conscientious about safety—whether driving carefully, staying vigilant on walks, or ensuring helmets and car seat harnesses were always properly secured. 4. Key Milestones: Sandra was present during major developmental moments, including potty training. Her guidance, patience, and consistency made the process smooth and successful. 5. The Perfect Balance: Sandra is kind, caring, and very sweet, but she also knows how to maintain firm, gentle boundaries. If you are looking for a trustworthy, loving, highly experienced, and competent caregiver for your child, hire Sandra immediately. She is the best, and we recommend her 100%!
