My Summary
About Me
I am OFSTED registered childminder and my name is Katia, I am 40 years old. Brazilian, UK residency.
I lived in Kensal Green, London for over 18 years working as a nanny and babysitter before becoming a Ofsted registered childminder in April 2013.
I recently moved to Bracknell with my family, my partner and my two daughters ages eighth and eleven and a ten months baby boy.
I’m very exited to be here and can’t wait to be able to show the love for what I do best!
I’m a very fun and enthusiastic person and the little ones will definitely have a great time during under my care.
I like to time to time do new childcare courses and make sure I’m up to date as the world changes every day and there are always new things to learn.
I know from personal experience how important it is for a parent to make the right choice when looking for childcare. I provide a warm and friendly home-based childcare service, which also offers parents flexibility to meet their needs.
My care services incorporate regular outings, and educational activities that help your child learn through play; and are designed to support the national educational framework for the foundation phase.
DAILY RATES INCLUD ALL MEALS
The food is freshly prepared. A weekly menu is provided, and a special diet is available upon request.
My Experience
I have over eighteen years experience working as a nanny, babysitter and childminder for local families in Kensal Green/Kensal Rise/Queens Park-London with children ranging in age from new born to 10 year olds. Was a voluntary in a local nursery during the time I was doing my childcare course and I am also a mother of three! Two daughters eight and eleven years old and a ten months old baby boy.
I have excellent references from families I have worked with; which are available on request.

Katia has proven to be an incredible caregiver for my toddler—truly a blessing. I'm grateful to have chosen her over a fancy nursery. Katia quickly grasped my son's needs and adjusted accordingly, a level of understanding that took us a year to achieve. Her experience and dedicated efforts deserve commendation. Remarkably, my son hasn't shed a tear under her care; he feels secure, experiencing an environment, like the one we provide at home. A heartfelt thank you to Katia for her patience and understanding.

Dear Hanisha,
You and your family are also a blessing to me. It’s so great to be part of your little’s first years and see how well and quickly he’s settling.
Thank you for choosing me and specially for trusting me.
I would not trust anyone else with my children! She is an absolute star with little ones...
My son has been going to her for 3 years and he adores her. I always have my heart at peace because I know he is loved and looked after. She always serves nutritious homecooked meals and there is a plus with language as she has been speaking Portuguese to my son (upon our request) and he is now speaking a third language.
I am now sending my second-born to her too and I am sure he is going to be happy, too.
