NAYARA XISTO

A, from age 1 to 3
August 2022 until August 2024

• I started caring for A just after she turned one, and now she’s already three. I helped with her bottle feeding, supported her through the introduction to solids, and did her sleep training as well.
• Over the past two years, I’ve supported her development through fun and educational activities designed to encourage learning through play. We spent a lot of time at the zoo, attending music and story time at the library, and doing sensory and creative play at home.
• I helped foster her independence, language development, and social-emotional skills through daily routines and guided play. We worked on early learning concepts like colors, shapes, numbers, and the alphabet in a way that was playful and engaging. It’s been a privilege to be part of her early childhood years and to build a strong, loving bond with her and her family.

• W, from 5 months to 3 years old
  April 2021 until October 2023
• I started working with W when she was 05 month old, few days after leaving California in 2021, and I am currently taking care of her, but she is ready to go to the daycare
• It was an incredible experience, she is a sweet smart girl

  October 2019 until April 2021
• In 2019, I moved to California to have a new experience in the U.S., and started taking care of I and her baby sister S.
• With S, I helped with developmental milestones like tummy time, solid foods, and first steps. With I, we did crafts, practiced ABCs and numbers, and played pretend games. We also enjoyed outdoor time, music, books, and lots of fun together.
