My Summary
About Me
I am a mother of four adult children, including twins, and this experience lies at the heart of everything I bring to my work. Raising children through every stage of development ,the sleepless nights, the first words, the milestones big and small,
has given me a deep, instinctive understanding of what children truly need: consistency, warmth and someone who is fully present.
After relocating to London, I chose to dedicate myself entirely to childcare, which I consider my true vocation. I have been working as a professional nanny here ever since, building long-term relationships with families based on trust, reliability and genuine care.
I specialise exclusively in childcare. My focus is entirely on the child their safety, emotional wellbeing and development. I support children through calm, structured routines, play-based learning and age-appropriate activities that nurture confidence and independence.
Families describe me as nurturing, patient and reassuringly reliable someone who brings not just professional experience, but a mother’s intuition to every family I work with.
I hold an Enhanced DBS check, a Paediatric First Aid certificate and a full UK driving licence.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Caterina. She has been with us throughout the summer and has quickly built a beautiful bond with our little boy, Leonardo.
Caterina is full of energy, initiative and enthusiasm. We particularly appreciate the way she plays with Leonardo and encourages him to explore, discover and learn through everyday activities. She is warm, attentive and genuinely engaged with him, and it is lovely to see how happy Leonardo always is to see her.
She has also been wonderful with us as parents. She is always clear and respectful in her communication, supportive of our choices and attentive to what we need as a family. We really appreciate the trust and peace of mind she gives us when Leonardo is in her care.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Caterina to any family looking for someone who will care for their child with genuine affection, energy and dedication. We are very grateful for all the care and positivity she has brought to our family.

Dear Annalisa,
Thank you so much for these beautiful words .
I am truly touched.
Spending this summer with Leonardo has been an absolute joy, and watching him grow in confidence as he explores and discovers new things has meant so much to me.
Every time I see Leonardo again, even just occasionally,
I find the same enthusiastic, sunny, curious little boy ,
always at ease and ready to trust me completely.
That is, without doubt, thanks to the love and attention you give him every day.
It has also been a real privilege to work alongside you both. Thank you for the trust you placed in me and for always making our communication so open and easy.
I also want to say how much it means to be welcomed with such genuine warmth every time I come to your home ,that really makes a difference.
Thank you again for such a generous and heartfelt reference.
With warm wishes and affection,
Caterina
Caterina joined us when our daughter was just 6 months old, doing 3 mornings a week, and in the 7 months since, she has been a fantastic support.
What stands out most is her genuine care and dedication. This isn’t someone who just goes through the motions, you can see, in every interaction, that she truly loves being with our daughter. The way our daughter’s face lights up the moment she sees her says more than any review could!
She is very reliable and proactive, she brings energy and creativity to each day, and it shows in how happy our daughter is in her care.
Most importantly, we know our child is in safe, loving and capable hands when she is with her.
Seven months in and we feel very lucky to have found her 😊

Thank you so much for these incredibly kind words ,they truly mean the world to me! 🥰
Watching your little one grow and thrive over these seven months has been an absolute joy. From those early mornings when she was just 6 months old to seeing the wonderful, curious little person she is becoming , every day with her has been a privilege.
Knowing that she is happy, safe, and loved in my care is exactly why I do this work, and your trust means everything. I feel just as lucky to be part of your family’s journey!
Looking forward to many more happy mornings together. 🌟

Caterina is the most important member of the family . She had been with us for 7 years, of which 6 full time and 1 part-time now that the kids go to school. She has been a responsible and reliable and very loving nanny, almost a grandmother to our children. She is the best investment we have done for our kids , cooks well and has 4 grown up kids of her own ( of which 2 twins ) so she knows all kind of drills
