About Caruxa

Experience: 6 yrs

I'm a caring and dependable educator with several years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to high school students. I currently work as a high school Special Education and Inclusion teacher, and I truly enjoy helping children grow academically, socially, and emotionally in a supportive environment. Over the years, I've worked with children in classrooms, tutoring settings, summer programs, babysitting, and private childcare. I have extensive experience with bilingual learners and children with different learning needs, and I always aim to create a patient, engaging, and nurturing space where children feel comfortable, safe, and encouraged to be themselves.

Catuxa was the most responsible, firm, kind wonderful babysitter. She supported the kids with all of their after school and summer activities, and helped us transition from coming home from work and jumping into carting kids to their activities, continuing the homework/practice or dinner and chill. We love her enthusiasm, her maturity and her warmth with the children, while remaining an authority and guiding them to be the good people she and we know them to be. She is wonderful. The best you will find.
