Fernanda
Nanny in Penarth (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Fernanda — a warm, reliable nanny with over 3 years of experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers.
I’ve worked as both a live-in nanny and long-term nanny, and I’m often trusted to care for children independently for several days or weeks while parents are away.
I focus on creating a calm, structured and happy environment, supporting routines, preparing healthy meals, and planning fun, age-appropriate activities.
I’m fluent in English and Portuguese, and I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents.

Kind lovely woman who put 100% into her role for looking after my young children. Fernanda stayed overnight and made pancakes for them for breakfast which was a bonus with the children

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Fernanda to look after my son, Leo, who has additional learning needs, including autism. It was my first time in quite a while leaving Leo with someone else, so naturally, I felt anxious. However, Fernanda’s warm and caring approach quickly put my worries at ease. She was incredibly patient and attentive, understanding his unique needs and creating a calm environment for him. Fernanda truly connected with Leo, and he felt comfortable and happy in her care. I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and compassionate babysitter. Highly recommended!
