"Rafaella was reliable, flexible, and extremely trustworthy with caring for my children. She actively engages with them, and does creative arts and crafts with them. She is good with babies as well, providing supportive and nurturing care. She is a safe driver if you need her to drive the children. I give her my highest recommendation!"

"Having Rafaella care for our 2yr old son has been such an amazing gift. She is not only kind and loving, but very dedicated to helping children grow and learn. Rafa is always seeking (or crafting!) new experiences and activities to share with our son. She’s helped him navigate physical therapy, speech therapy, and other important milestones. We are so honored to have Rafaella as a part of our family."

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

For infants, I support every stage of early development through tummy time, sensory exploration, reading, singing, baby sign language (when family allows me ), mirror play, outdoor stroller walks, and activities that encourage crawling, standing, and walking. I also establish consistent feeding and sleep routines while celebrating each developmental milestone.

For toddlers and preschoolers, I plan fun, screen-free activities that promote creativity, independence, and problem-solving. These include arts and crafts, sensory play, puzzles, building with blocks and magnetic tiles, pretend play, music and dance.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love when parents tell me they feel at ease leaving their child with me because they completely trust me. Earning that level of confidence is one of the greatest compliments I can receive.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment is when a child starts calling my name and comes to me for comfort when they’re hurt, tired, or upset. That tells me they trust me and see me as a safe person. Those moments remind me that I’m on the right path and making a positive difference in their life.
