Ana
Childminder in London: Merton (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Ana - a registered childminder and a mother of two boys (1 and 4 years). I’m based in central Mitcham in a family flat with access to a safe balcony, green space, and on-site playground.
I provide calm, nurturing childcare in small numbers, with a strong focus on routines, outdoor play, and healthy freshly prepared meals. We spend plenty of time outdoors and enjoy visits to local parks, libraries, Mitcham and Wimbledon Common, Deen City Farm, and age-appropriate activities.
I’m passionate about supporting children during transitions — whether that’s school hours care, short-term arrangements, or families in between childcare settings.
I speak English and Portuguese fluently, with some French and Latin.
I’m best suited to families looking for reliable, school-hours or short-term childcare in a calm home environment.
My Experience
I began working in early years childcare in Portugal in the early 2000s, initially as a nursery assistant. Over the years, I’ve worked in babysitting, after-school care, and as a live-in nanny, supporting children of different ages and family needs.
My experience allows me to offer reliable, flexible care, particularly for families who value continuity, structure, and a warm home-based environment.
