About Rafaela
Experience: 6 yrs
Nurturing a child's development is my true passion, and I find deep fulfillment in supporting families as a reliable childcare partner. With six years of experience caring for children ages 0-11, I offer a calm, patient, and professional presence in your home. My background as a Doula, combined with my graduate education, allows me to provide thoughtful, high-quality care. I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure consistency for your child. I love engaging children through educational games that promote learning and growth. I prioritize clear communication by providing written daily reports or following your preferred method. I am eager to help your child thrive and look forward to becoming a trusted, steady presence in your family's daily life.
Most recent review
Rafaela was amazing in taking care of our baby. He was born premature, and she was truly a blessing to our family during his time in the NICU. She was incredibly caring, attentive, and also provided great support to my wife during her recovery from a C-section. We are very grateful for everything she did for us, and even today our son always asks us to call “Auntie Rafa.”
