LARISSA, 23 YEARS

My name is Larissa, I am a young kindergarten teacher who specializes in early childhood. I live in Brazil with my mom which is a preschool teacher. I have 3 years of officially working experiences with kids all ages, but since always I've been babysitting my little cousins and looking after the kids around my neighborhood, from babies to kids 12 years old. I am also trained for first aid and a very skilled storyteller. I am looking forward to meeting your family! :)

- My Education: Associate Degree in Early Childhood, 2019
- What I do in my free time: I love pets, nature, art, music, and games in general. One of my favorite things to do is reading books and when it's possible enjoying the day doing something outside, going for a walk, kayaking, camping, swimming...
- My experience with kids: When I was 15 to 16 I started babysitting for close family and friends.
When I was 17 after High School I decided to take a two years technical course of education because I always liked kids and I wanted to know if that was what I wanted to do was my profession. Right after starting this course, I entered kindergartens and schools to do my obligated internships. In total it was 2 kindergartens and 2 schools, I worked with all types of ages and grades. I also did a special education internship in an Autism Association, where I learned a lot more about autism and the daily life of kids who have it and the parents and teachers who surround those kids.
I worked as a teacher in a bilingual kindergarten from February 2019 to May 2020.
