About Ines

My experience with children began seven years ago with my nephew's birth, and I've been caring for children full-time for the past five years with my own. I'm a registered nurse (BSN) and worked as a nurse after staying home with my oldest daughter. I now have an 11-month-old baby and can care for two more children under three. I believe in respectful parenting, following each child's natural development, and prioritizing love, attention, and emotional security as much as nutrition and hygiene. I cook all meals at home and can introduce solids through baby-led weaning or purées. I limit screen time, replacing it with music, instruments, and age-appropriate activities. I live in a peaceful neighborhood between Martinsburg and Inwood. My hours are flexible. I am Portuguese, fluent in English, and happy to teach your child some Portuguese. I love nature, travel, and family time. I've lived in the U. S. for six years.
