Mariza Marinho
San Jose,CA
Summary
With over 14 years of dedicated childcare experience, specializing in newborn care and nurturing infants, toddlers, and older children, I am adept at managing families with multiple siblings and engaging in nanny-sharing arrangements.
My educational background includes a degree in Data Processing from Brazil's Tocantins State University (UNITINS - 1997) and previous work as a substitute teacher in middle schools. CPR- and First Aid-certified, I possess knowledge of meditation and mindfulness techniques for children.
Seeking a part-time position, availability extends to mornings (8 am - 12 pm) or afternoons (1 pm - 6 pm, flexible to 2 pm - 7 pm). Open to discussing a 40+ hour workweek split between two families, additional skills include managing food allergies and working comfortably with parents at home, as well as around dogs and cats.
