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.

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

Thank you so much Gloria, your words have truly touched my heart.
Being part of your family for these years has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. Watching your children grow, supporting them every day and sharing so many precious moments together has given me immense joy and fulfilment. It has never felt like just a job,your children hold a very special place in my heart, and they always will.
I am grateful every day for the trust you have placed in me. Thank you for making me feel so valued.
Caterina looked after our two daughters, aged 6 and 2, on several weekends over the course of a few months and we truly feel lucky to have found her. She has a calm, caring presence and a natural warmth that children instantly connect with. Both of our girls were always happy to see her and loved spending time playing, drawing, and simply being around her.
She’s been flexible with timings when we needed it and always showed genuine attention to the girls’ needs and routines. What really stood out is how much she clearly cares, not just watching over them but really engaging with them and making sure they’re happy, safe and well, as if they were her own grandchildren.
I’d wholeheartedly recommend Caterina to any family looking for someone experienced, dependable, and most importantly, kind hearted. She's made a real difference for us and we’re very grateful.
