About me

My name is Isabelle, but you can call me Bella. I live in Brooklyn, close to park slope, but I grew up in Brazil. I have a B.A in business and have a Technical Certificate in Software Engineering, but due to the current rough market in the technology industry, I'm pursuing my passion for working with kids!


I've been working with kids since I was 17, first as a daycare helper for a whole year and it was the most amazing and eye-opening experience. That's when I saw what I was really meant to be doing. I am experienced with multiple kids (twins included!), kids on the spectrum, and speech and learning delays. Also with ages from infants, babies, toddlers, and elementary. While working with those ages, I mostly followed the Montessori method, with lots of sign language included in daily life to improve communication. I also introduced kids to BLW, social skills by arranging playdates, and many other milestone activities. I love how we can play and learn together while discovering the world! I helped kids with remote and in-person learning. I speak Portuguese, Spanish, and English and am currently learning French! I'd describe my personality as fun, caring and perceptive.

I believe that children become a reflection of the world they were raised in. And for that, raising a kid with love, patience, kindness, and well-worth values are my main goals when working with childcare. I want to be able to change the world into a better place, and since the world is gonna be formed by the people we are creating now, I think it's an amazing place to start!

In 5 years, I hope to be...

I aspire to become a better person both personally and professionally. I am eager to be influenced and positively impacted by the changes happening around me. Additionally, I aim to advance in my career, with the ultimate goal of merging my two passions: childcare and technology. By combining these two work domains, I hope to create a fulfilling and rewarding professional journey.

Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...

Music, dancing, and cooking are my favorite things to teach kids. Especially for toddlers, who are so eager to mimic and learn from the adults around them, teaching basic skills such as cooking (they love to mix!) helps them with all major motion skills (fine and gross motor), and helps develop further creativity!
