My Summary
About Me
I have over three years of experience as a dedicated nanny, working with children of all age groups—from newborns to teenagers. For 10 months, I served as a live-in nanny for two wonderful, happy boys, where I was responsible for a full range of childcare and housekeeping duties. My responsibilities included school drop-offs and pick-ups, accompanying the children to speech therapy sessions, preparing nutritious meals, organizing educational and play activities, and maintaining a clean and organized home.
In addition to my long-term roles, I also work as a freelance babysitter for both regular and new clients. I’ve often taken on extended stays when parents are away, staying with the children for several days or weeks to ensure their routine and well-being are maintained.
I speak both Portuguese and English fluently. I have a passion for cooking and baking, and I take pride in leaving the house spotless after a day of play and care. I’m deeply committed to supporting the healthy development of the children in my care, and nothing is more rewarding than the trust I build with families and the joy I see in the children I look after.

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!

Fernanda has looked after our two kids - 4 and 7 years old - as an ad hoc nanny providing daytime and evening care during school holidays and weekends. She is brilliant with the kids - kind, caring, fun and firm. Shes proactive at arranging trips out. She keeps the kids entertained at home baking, crafting, and playing outside. She unphased by supporting our son with autism, and if confident providing him with extra support to take part in activites. She’s reliable, friendly, and very professional. I can’t recommend her highly enough! The kids are always asking me when she will be bacj
