Hi there! My name is Fernanda . I have lot of experience working with infants and toddlers and school age. I'm passionate about creating a safe and happy environment for your little ones. As a caregiver, I make it my top priority to ensure that your child is engaged in meaningful activities and surrounded by a clean and organized space. I pride myself on being energetic, kind, loving, patient, and nurturing, and I'm committed to building strong relationships with both parents and children. When it comes to logistics, you can count on me to be reliable and punctual - I have great driving skills, and a clean record, and am available to work Monday through Friday. Plus, I'm fully vaccinated for Covid-19 and am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
I cannot recommend Fernanda highly enough. She stepped into our home when our daughter was four months old and cared for her until just under two years. The only reason our time together ended was a personal family situation on her end—otherwise, we would have kept her with us for as long as possible. Anyone looking for a reliable, loving, long-term caregiver would be extremely fortunate to hire her. From day one, it was clear that Fernanda genuinely loved our daughter. She gave her incredible warmth, attention, and affection, treating her like family. What impressed us most was her proactive dedication to safety. She was exceptionally vigilant, always cautious with our daughter’s well-being, and maintained open, honest communication—immediately keeping us informed if anything ever came up. As a parent, that peace of mind is priceless. In addition to being a top-tier caregiver, Fernanda was an absolute lifesaver around the house. She managed everything related to our daughter’s care seamlessly: cooking and meals, bath time, driving, doing baby laundry, and keeping clothes and toys meticulously organized. Beyond that, she proactively helped with household tasks like folding general laundry and washing dishes. She is exceptionally clean, organized, and detail-oriented. Fernanda was also a dream to collaborate with. She was always receptive to feedback, listened attentively to our guidance, and adapted effortlessly to our parenting preferences. She provided our family with incredible support, safety, and joy for nearly two years. We miss her dearly, and I am confident she will bring the exact same dedication and warmth to her next family.
