Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. I am a Newborn Care Specialist with more than 8 years of experience working as a Nanny. I am from Brazil and grew up in a large family so I've been always surrounded by babies and young children. I worked with children of different ages while I was a part of a volunteer group at an orphanage, Children's Cancer Hospital, and daycare. I am Adult & Pediatric First Aid, CPR and AED certified and up to date on my vaccines. My passion in life is to work with young babies and to guide, educate, and support parents in all baby related subjects. References are available after interview.

Seriously the best thing to happen to us beyond the birth of our child was hiring Ruama. This is an understatement, she is truly amazing at her craft. She started overnight with us when our son was just a few days old, I highly recommend starting her early. Not only is she fabulous with our son - patient, caring, nurturing, but she taught us so much about parenthood, including getting him on a good routine in a way that worked for him, how to set up the right environment for sleep, developmental milestones to be mindful of, etc. He is practically sleeping through the night at 9 weeks thanks solely to her. She is also very educated in all things newborn / early childhood development, with a great dose of flexibility and meeting our son where he was. She is vocal about when the next milestones are coming and what to do next. She knows the science and is a resource beyond compare. Highly recommend her to any family for newborn / infant care. Dependable, reliable, punctual, knowledgeable.
