About Ananda

Brazilian nanny/sitter in NYC with 5. 5+ years of hands-on experience, from infant care to engaging school-age kids. I started as an Au Pair in the US, and childcare became my genuine passion. I'm trained in Positive Parenting principles, balancing warmth with structure and always following parents' guidelines. Growing up in Bauru - Sao Paulo, outdoors and screen-free, taught me how much community and care shape a child's world. I want to be part of a child's growth, not just watch over them. What I bring: Infant care: bottle feeding, diapers, tummy time, sleep routines Toddler support: motor skills, social-emotional development School-age engagement: creative, educational activities Bilingual: English & Portuguese Cooking activities & healthy snacks Can't wait to meet your family!
