Bete Pessoa: From Vision to Reality
Hello, I’m Bete Pessoa, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to The Babies Secret. My journey to opening this daycare has been deeply personal and fulfilling, shaped by years of experience, passion, and a vision for nurturing the next generation.
I’ve been working with children since I was 14 years old. I got my Early Childhood Education Certification in 1998 and I started working as a licensed teacher right away. After getting my teacher credentials I decided to go deeper in my studies and got my BA in Early Childhood Education and graduated in Pedagogy in 2003. By that time, I was a manager in the Preschool I worked at and was helping teachers and parents with the school’s curriculum.
I’m originally from Brazil and moved to the US in 2004 as an Au Pair. I learned a lot about American culture and I decided I wanted to be the best childcare provider out there. I went on to study Learning Disabilities at UC Berkeley. I loved being a nanny and I got Certified in Positive Discipline Parent Educator through Positive Discipline. After many years as an Executive Nanny I decided to become a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula and got her certification through Childbirth Professional International. I also got basic training in breastfeeding. I’m also a Certified Sleep Trainer Consultant through CQ Wellness School and I turned into a Nanny Coach helping many others to become great nannies and turning their nanny business into a super professional and profitable business.
In my spare time I enjoy reading, playing with my two Yorkshire Terriers, spending time outdoors or at the beach.
A Journey of Discovery
After many enriching years in the United States, found myself reflecting on my own experiences and the values that have guided me throughout my life. My background in Early Childhood Education gave me profound insights into the importance of early childhood development and family support.
My decision to open a daycare was driven by a combination of professional expertise and personal passion. Here’s why:
-
A Deep-Rooted Passion: Over the years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of a nurturing environment on children’s growth. I’ve always believed in the power of a supportive and engaging space where children can explore, learn, and thrive.
-
A Desire to Make a Difference: After working in Childcare, I saw a significant need for high-quality, compassionate care for young children. I wanted to create a space where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired.
-
A Commitment to Family-Centered Care: My experiences have shown me the importance of partnering with families to support their unique needs. I wanted to build a daycare that not only supports children’s development but also respects and collaborates with parents to ensure the best outcomes for their families.
​Bringing Vision to Life
The Babies Secret represents the culmination of years of dedication, planning, and heartfelt commitment. My goal is to offer a daycare where children receive exceptional care in a warm, enriching environment, and where parents feel confident and supported.
I am excited to bring my vision to life and to be part of your family’s journey. Thank you for considering The Babies Secret for your childcare needs. I look forward to the opportunity to support and nurture your child’s growth and development.
