I am beyond thrilled to be joining The Treehouse: a Forest Garden School. As a devoted and passionate childcare provider, I have extensive experience providing care for children of all ages both in the U.S. and abroad. Caring for infants and toddlers heals my soul and being, it is a blessing and amazing gift that I have a deep connection with and calling for.

​

My teaching philosophy aligns with the infant care philosophy that The Treehouse embodies; The RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) approach, which emphasizes respectful, gentle communication and attentive care for children. I believe in creating a nurturing and supportive environment where children can flourish and grow at their own pace. I am dedicated to providing a safe, empowering and loving space for children to explore, learn, and thrive. I bond and connect with the little ones naturally and joining The Treehouse allows me to continue following my passion for caring for little ones with all my heart. I look forward to continuing to grow as an educator while making a positive impact and difference in the lives of children. I am glowing with joy, gratitude, love, excitement, and fulfillment to join the Acorn class!

I grew up in Brazil and belong to a big family of Portuguese speaking Brazilians and I am the 3rd eldest of 8 cousins. I was always curious and engaged in helping with their care and learning what I could do to make sure they were safe and happy. I have been in early childhood education for 6 years, while being a professional nanny and working in a daycare. It has been an amazing and rewarding experience to connect with families and children from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures. Throughout my teaching experiences, I have learned a lot, including ASL for infants and expanded my Spanish knowledge, which has been a valuable asset in communicating with families and providing a rich and inclusive environment for the children in my care.

​

As a Brazilian native Portuguese speaker, I began learning English at a language school when I was 14 and graduated with a Cambridge University certificate for fluent English by the age of 18. Being a native Portuguese speaker, I found it easy to navigate and learn the Spanish language on my own, enriching my trilingual abilities.

​

Outside of childcare my diverse passions and interests are cooking all kinds of food and baking - mostly Brazilian unique goods. I enjoy yoga, meditation, Tarot and astrology. I am a devoted nature lover, finding solace and inspiration in the great outdoors. My husband and I share a passion for chasing and exploring the wild and seeking out mystical camping spots in the Pacific Northwest, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. As an introvert, I cherish my time at home, creating a safe and comforting space where I can unwind and recharge alongside my husband and beloved cat. In our sanctuary, my husband and I bond over shared interests such as playing video games and indulging in quiet evenings together. I find immense joy in the simple pleasures of life, from decorating and cooking to setting up elaborate table arrangements. The Fall/spooky season holds a special place in my heart, with its crisp air, vibrant foliage, and cozy vibes that resonate with me on a deep level.

I am delighted to bring my diverse experiences and passion for early childhood education to The Treehouse: a Forest Garden School and continue making a beautifully positive impact in the lives of children and families.
