Hi families, I'm Rafa, I am from Brazil and I have lots of experience with infants, specializing in sleep training! - About 5 years of experience with infants (0-2 years old) - Fully vaccinated - First Aid and CPR certificated - Currently live in Royal Oak - Strong driver and have my own car - Recent graduated with a Master's degree in Data Science My love for details and my background in data science have actually come in super handy as a nanny! I've learned to pick up on patterns in babies' sleep and feeding routines, so I can often tell when they're about to get sleepy or hungry. It lets me stay one step ahead and keep them happy before any fussing starts-which helps me create a fixed schedule that makes life a lot easier for the baby, parents, and for myself. If you're interested, don't hesitate to reach out! I'd love to chat about how I can support you and your little one.
Rafa was an amazing nanny for our family. She was incredibly loving and attentive to our child and took excellent care of him. She was always punctual and perfectly communicative. She taught our child skills and worked with him on his language and communication. Our child was a very picky eater but Rafa was always more successful than we were to get him eat a variety of things and she helped us figure out tricks to get him to eat new foods and textures. Rafa was wonderful with our son's sleep and would do what was needed to get naps in including contact naps or walking him in his stroller. She was even able to offer advice on getting our baby to sleep when he was struggling or going through a regression. To top it all off, Rafa was awesome with our very active dog. Rafa meshed with our family very quickly and we had no hesitation trusting her fully with caring for our little one. We wish we could have continued working with Rafa, but some circumstances in our lives changed and we had to part ways. I would absolutely recommend Rafa to any family looking for loving and reliable childcare.
