Nicest adjective for a nice person

Hello, I want to translate a poem from my native language (Romanian) ... I'm looking for the best English adjective to describe a "nice" child (or even person) as in someone with "low profile", who stays in their place and not causing troubles or asking for attention ... thank you

Maybe 'gentle', 'sweet', or 'innocent'?
