About Vanessa

Experience: 10 yrs

Fuelled by a passion for the Montessori method and a desire to support growing families, I've dedicated the last 10 years to nurturing children's development. I hold a graduate degree and am comfortable caring for up to three children of all ages. My approach is patient, calm, and creative. I love engaging kids with outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I prioritize open communication, providing regular updates via text, phone, or in person, always following your preferred method. I enforce household rules as you direct. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. Since I speak both English and Portuguese, I can teach your children how to learn a new language! I've always had a natural connection with children and enjoy helping them learn and grow in a safe, fun, and loving environment.

Vanessa was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly careful, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond to make you feel at ease. She kept me updated the entire time, which I really appreciated, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She is also very kind and gentle, creating a safe and comfortable environment. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable babysitter!
