About Fernanda
Experience: 6 yrs
As a childcare provider with a background in nutrition science, my passion lies in positively impacting children's lives and providing reliable support to families. With six years of experience, I am comfortable caring for up to three children, from infants to preteens. My background includes a college degree, First Aid Training, and CPR Training, ensuring the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I believe that effective communication is key, so I follow the parents' preferred method of communication to discuss their child's day and address any concerns. I am also very comfortable enforcing household rules to create a structured and safe environment. My approach to childcare involves fostering creativity and imagination through educational games and outdoor activities. I am fluent in both English and Portuguese, and I have experience working with children from diverse backgrounds. Another

Fernanda is incredible! She's been with us for a year since our baby was 6 mo old, and she's been caring for our little one as her own ever since. Fernanda was very respectful of our no-screen-time policy and other house rules. Fernanda was also very mindful of our baby's various allergies and helped her overcome some of them by baking stuff containing small amounts of eggs and other allergens, gradually increasing the amounts over time (this was a treatment plan made by our allergist). Our baby has now outgrown her egg and cheese allergies, which used to be one of our biggest concerns, and we are so thankful for that! Fernanda is honest, punctual, responsible, and reliable. Also, she has a great sense of humor, is full of positive energy and always willing to help - she's just a great person to get to know and to have around you! We are so sad that we have to let her go now, and our only hope is that she finds a new family who will be as good to her as she is good to them.
