My Summary
About Me
My name is Livia, and I am a qualified, passionate, and experienced childminder based in Kingston. I provide a warm, bilingual home-from-home setting where children are nurtured, supported, and encouraged to grow with confidence.
I was born and raised in Brazil in a loving and close-knit family. From a young age, I loved caring for children — especially my younger sister and relatives. In 2018, I moved to London and soon discovered my true calling: working with children professionally. After gaining valuable experience as a nanny and nursery assistant, I decided to open my own registered childminding setting.
My childcare approach is calm, caring, and child-led. I follow the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework to support every child’s development in a fun, meaningful, and age-appropriate way. I also incorporate elements of music, arts and crafts, messy play, sensory exploration, and outdoor learning, helping children learn through play and discovery.
Mysetting is bilingual (English & Portuguese), and I also introduce children to words, songs, and stories from other cultures — a lovely way to support language development and spark curiosity about the world.
I provide fresh, home-cooked meals and snacks every day, carefully planned to be healthy and balanced. I can also adapt meals to suit any allergies or dietary needs.
I believe communication with parents is essential. That’s why I share daily updates (including routines, meals, activities, and photos) so you always feel connected and informed about your child’s day.
My home is a safe, inclusive, and enriching space where children are treated with love and respect. I take great pride in creating an environment that supports not just learning, but also emotional well-being, independence, and kindness.
I’d love to welcome your little one into our setting — feel free to contact me with any questions or to arrange a visit!
My Experience
I have over 6 years of experience working with children aged 5 months to 13 years, in roles including:
Nursery Assistant
Nanny
Childminding Assistant
Registered Childminder
During this time, I’ve developed strong skills in child development, routine management, and age-appropriate planning. I support early years milestones such as weaning, potty training, sleep routines, and school readiness.
Each day, I plan a variety of fun and educational activities tailored to your child’s interests and needs. These may include:
Music and singing sessions
Story time and language development
Arts & crafts and sensory play
Free play and social interaction
Nature walks and local outings
Physical development through dance and movement
I aim to create a joyful, caring environment where every child feels safe, heard, and inspired to explore.
I also value building strong, trusting relationships with families — working together to ensure your child is happy, secure, and thriving.
