Welcome to my blog!
I am a brazilian woman, born in Rio de Janeiro. I lived in California from 2004 to 2006 when I went back to Brazil to finish my degree.
In 2009 I returned to California with my lovely husband Danny. Our first son was born last year.
I am a Science and Biology teacher from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. I have 9 years of teaching experience in the field of formal and informal education.
I am an Environmental Education specialist and I have worked with children, teenagers and adults.
I love to spend time with my family and friends. I love to be outside near the nature.
My mission as an educator is to help kids be happy, love life, respect nature and be good citizens.

How it started
When I came back to California in 2009 I became pregnant then I decided to watch kids.
After my son was born I asked the parents to keep watching their kids, but in my place. That worked really well!
I could be with my son, while watching other kids, and when their parents get home their house was clean and nice, while mine wasn't... Part of the job...!
My son was growing, I was getting ready to work more. Then came the question: - Get a regular job or get more kids?? Open a daycare? Go official?
So I researched and saw that We don`t have in Oakland day cares that speak the Portuguese language.
That`s it! Let`s do it!
I started to meet more and more Brazilian families and spread my ideas.
What about the non Brazilian kids?? They are learning Portuguese!!!!
I speak both languages (better than I write it...) according to the need of the child.
So that`s the idea: a bilingual space where your child will have the opportunity to learn Portuguese while having fun, playing with other kids, listening to good brazilian music, having story time with Brazil books,etc.
