About Fernanda

Experience: 4 yrs

I'm an experienced childcare provider with a strong background in education and a true passion for supporting children's growth in a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment. I've cared for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and love planning activities like Montessori-inspired play, motor games, crafts, story time, and outdoor fun. I'm calm, reliable, and proactive, confident with routines like feeding, naps, and transitions. I also have experience with children with special needs, including developmental and physical challenges, and always adapt to each child's needs. I'm fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, hold a graduate degree, and am CPR/First Aid certified. I take pride in building strong relationships with families and creating a warm, consistent presence that children feel safe and happy with every day.

Fernanda is absolutely wonderful with children. She brings a warm, patient, and engaging energy that kids naturally respond to. Whether it’s playtime, learning activities, or just providing a calm, comforting presence, she handles it all with care and professionalism. You can truly tell she enjoys working with kids and knows how to connect with them. I’d highly recommend her to any family looking for a dependable and caring caregiver.
