Hello, Families. I'm Fe, a professional nanny with 8+ years caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I'm relocating to San Jose in September, authorized to work in the U. S., CPR/First Aid certified, vaccinated, a non-smoker, with my own transportation. I currently care for a 6-month-old full time and pick up her 3-year-old sister from preschool. I've also cared for twins, toddler groups, nanny shares, and households with kids ages 4 through 16, plus a boy on the autism spectrum I've had weekly since he was two. I taught English in Brazil for 4 years and hold a TEFL certificate, so homework help comes naturally. I'm bilingual in Portuguese and English. I believe kids deserve the same respect as adults. I listen, explain the why behind rules, and stay calm so children have someone steady to lean on. We go to museums, parks, libraries, and the zoo, because curiosity is best taught by example. I'm also a musician and sing and play guitar with the kids!
Fe worked for us as a nanny and household assistant for two years and we honestly can't say enough good things about her. She did it all: kept our two young kids' schedules straight, drove them all over greater Boston, made healthy lunches from scratch, tidied up every day, did laundry and dishes, and always gave us a heads up when we were running low on something. She also organized our home library (over 500 books) and both toy rooms, and we never even asked her to. The thing that really set her apart was how fast she picked up on what each person in the house needed and adjusted. She's creative too. When our meal planning got stuck in a rut she came up with new dishes the whole family loved. We're all big fans of Brazilian tapioca now. She sings, plays ukulele, speaks several languages, and always knew what kid friendly events were happening around town. Most of all, she's someone you can trust. She saw us sick and exhausted and was always kind about it, and in all the years we've known her we never once heard her say anything negative about a family or coworker. We trusted her with our kids' lives, and that's the highest thing we can say about anyone.
