About Natalia

I'm a Brazilian pediatric Occupational Therapist with seven years of experience working with children and supporting child development. I've worked with babies, toddlers, school-aged children, and children with autism, developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and other special needs. My background includes daily routines, feeding, dressing, hygiene, self-care, play, communication, transitions, sensory needs, independence, and social participation. I also have paid babysitting experience in Florida, including caring for infants and toddlers. I'm patient, caring, responsible, observant, creative, and attentive. I enjoy arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, games, and hands-on activities, and I'm happy to adapt activities to each child's needs and the family's routines and expectations. I'm a native Portuguese speaker, speak English, and I'm very comfortable with pets.
