My Summary
About Me
Daytime Maternity Nurse / Nanny and Sleep Training Consultant
I have several years of hands-on experience. I have worked with infants from newborn babies up to 3 years old. I'm well-versed in essential routines such as feeding, bathing, nappy changes, soothing techniques, and the care of baby essentials like sterilizing bottles and dummies. You can trust me to handle baby laundry and even administer medications when needed.
I work as a Nanny and enjoy it every day. I initially became a Nanny to support a close friend who needed help during her pregnancy. I quickly learned about newborn care and realized my passion for it, which led me to shift from my previous career as a Solicitor. I find great fulfilment in professionally working in childcare and helping others.
I'm on the lookout for a wonderful family seeking a caring, calm, fun-loving, and team-oriented Daytime Maternity Nurse or a Nanny to provide support and care for their child.
My expertise extends to multiples, having successfully cared for and managed a great routine for both! I bring a loving, patient, and creative approach to my work, all while maintaining a tidy and organized environment.
I firmly believe that every family and child is unique, and I'm dedicated to respecting and adapting to each family's individual preferences and needs. Creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere in parenthood is a top priority for me, as it significantly influences crucial aspects of baby care, especially feeding and sleep patterns (I am also a Sleep Training Consultant/Coach, and I am more than happy to provide support in this area).
My passion for human development started observing the growth, challenges, and difficulties of children. My approach extends beyond education; it involves designing activities that facilitate the nurturing of their strengths, interests, abilities, and skills. At the same time, I believe in the crucial aspect of emotional support to a gradual emotional intelligence development while wholeheartedly respecting their individuality. I take pride in contributing to the movement dedicated to empowering minds and preparing them with the necessary tools to navigate the upcoming milestones in their developmental journey. I have a friendly, calm and assertive way of being, I like to make people feel comfortable and love to help.
On the language front, I'm fluent in Portuguese (my native language) and English, proficient in Spanish, and currently learning French. I'm excited to bring my expertise and passion for childcare to your family!
Feel free to get in touch if you think I could be a great fit for your family's needs.
My Experience
I have several years of experience with children and families in Brazil, London, France and Sweden.
I specialised in private household childcare, and in the past year, I launched myself in the Childminding business. Together with my dedicated business partner, I embarked on a remarkable journey of establishing and nurturing a Childminder home setting. Our unwavering commitment to upholding the rigorous EYFS standards and achieving Ofsted registration has truly made this profession one of the most demanding and rewarding endeavours in the world. We had 5 to 7 children full-time with us, and this reinforces my ability to multitask and keep it up with a full-on day!
Before that, I had the opportunity to work with an incredible family in Stockholm, caring for their twin baby girls. I also had the privilege of being a nanny to a charming and curious 2-year-old girl in South London. In Holland Park, I provided live-in care for twin girls, and the list goes on.
I am a certified Sleep Training Consultant, and my work could involve shaping and gentle sleep training if the family is on board.

We had the pleasure of having Gabi as our son's nanny, and we absolutely loved her. Her caring demeanor and talent for keeping my very, very energetic son entertained set her apart. From day one, my son connected with Gabi thanks to her calming but fun presence, and we also felt immediately secure and confident in leaving our son with her due to her genuine expertise. My son actually squeals with joy every time he sees Gabi coming, and has gotten quite attached to her in just a few days. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabi for her outstanding care and professionalism.

Gabi looked after our girls for almost 18 months and they loved her. She is very warm, affectionate and patient. She is also super bright, reliable and hardworking, communicates well, and would always have new ideas and projects to keep the children engaged and encourage their development. She is also fun and easy to be around - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!

Overall
Gabi is one of a kind. She has recently been a childminder for my young daughter, and as soon as we met her we were so impressed by her. She is so calm, gentle, caring, and very thoughtful in her work, and forms strong attachments with children she works with. She is highly professional, as well as playful and with a sense of humour. Gabi has extensive knowledge and experience of looking after little ones, and of child attachment/development. I really value her input and advice on looking after my child, and chats with her more generally. I literally couldn't recommend her enough!!

Gabi has been our 1 year old daughter's childminder as well as her occasional babysitter. She is one of my daughter's favourite people and it's clear how much thought, affection and care she puts into their time together. I know that our child will be having fun whilst having new experiences and being looked after by someone who genuinely cares about her development as well as her well being. Gabi as a person is intelligent, kind and has a calming presence which I can guarantee your children will love. I can't recommend her enough, she's very special!
