A little bit about me
I love to dance and I also teach dance to children and adults. I keep my life full with Music, Dance and Travel. It keeps my heart full of joy and my horizons wide.
I am reliable, responsible, and what's more: solution oriented. I keep myself free from the shackles of wanting to be right and instead focus on that which is effective and helpful, at all times.

"Raphaela is kind, intelligent, responsible, punctual, and not only watched my three young kids, but also made significant efforts to make my life easier as a busy, working mom. She kept my active kids busy, assisted with meal planning and prepping, and managed playdates and multiple activities. My children looked forward to seeing Raphaela every week, and even though we outgrew the need for a full time nanny they still love her and ask about her regularly."

A little bit about me
I am an experienced and dedicated nanny with more than 10 years of professional childcare experience, specializing in newborns, infants, and toddlers. Caring for young children is more than a job for me—it is something I truly love and take great pride in. I am a warm, patient, trustworthy, and dependable caregiver who believes every child deserves a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where they can grow, learn, and feel secure.
Throughout my career, I have cared for babies from their first weeks of life and have developed a strong understanding of infant care and early childhood development. I am experienced with bottle preparation and feeding, burping, diaper changing, bathing, dressing, sleep routines, swaddling, soothing techniques, tummy time, and introducing age-appropriate developmental activities. I pay close attention to each baby’s individual needs and work closely with parents to maintain consistent routines and provide the best possible care.

"It is my pleasure to highly recommend Ana, who served as our baby nurse for 18 months. During her time with our family, Ana became an invaluable presence, providing exceptional care for our children.
What stands out most about Ana is her genuine warmth and commitment. She is incredibly caring and loving toward the children, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in her hands. She consistently treated our family with the utmost kindness and respect, and she was truly great company to have in our home.
Beyond her natural ability to connect with the children, Ana was remarkably professional. She was always timely, reliable, and deeply committed to her responsibilities. We always felt that she put the well-being of our children above all else.
We are so grateful for the time she spent with us, and any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her!"

"Tanja expertly cared for my twin daughters full time from ages 1.5-2.5, and then after school until age 3.
Tanja is always calm, reliable, organized, and responsible. She is gentle, patient, and nurturing with the children. I have always admired how Tanja balanced fun with structure, and helped to foster both their independence and their social life. She made excellent use of local parks and cultural offerings, holding outdoor playdates and picnics through the pandemic and arts and crafts projects when the weather didn’t allow for outdoor time. Tanja is also a wonderful cook and fed my girls healthful home-cooked meals. She is responsive and respectful, and she was always willing and available to come early or stay late if we needed her. She was also tremendously helpful when my third daughter was born. She was loving and calm with my newborn and she would make a great night nurse. She is a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend her."

"Nikisha is amazing. She is caring, compassionate and patient. She also happens to be super organized and great at repairing ALL SORTS of things. While she was with our family she was truly mom #2. My daughter absolutely loves her, and still regularly tells me that Nikisha explains homework better than anyone else. :-)
She doesn’t chat on her phone, ignore your children or watch the clock—she is the total opposite of that! Taking your children out for walks to look for fairies, making homemade posters and helping your child grow as a person will be the norm. If you are looking for a nanny who will become part of your family and care for your child(ren) the way you do, than Nikisha is the one. She truly is wonderful."
