About Vanessa

Hi! My name is Vanessa, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teens. For the past 6 years, I've been with my current family full-time during the week. On weekends, I regularly help other families in Lafayette, providing childcare, doing overnights with the kids, and sometimes even dog sitting! I'm bilingual (English and Portuguese), CPR certified, and very flexible with scheduling. I'm also planning to move from my family's home in December and be based in San Francisco, so I'll be looking for a full-time position by then! I'm patient, responsible, and truly love what I do. I create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel supported. I'm happy to follow household routines. I'm also interested in becoming a certified doula to support growing families even more. I have many great references available upon request so fell free to reach out--I'd love to connect!
