My Summary
About Me
New Childminder in Old Town, Stevenage (12 minutes from station)
I am thrilled to share that I will soon be working as a childminder in Old Town, Stevenage, starting end of June or July! My hours will be from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and I am committed to providing a nurturing and engaging environment for your children.
My decision to become a childminder stems from my personal experience of struggling to find the right childcare for my own child. I aim to create a fun and safe environment for children while their parents can work with peace of mind.
If you’re looking for reliable and loving childcare, I would love to hear from you!
In addition to childcare, I offer support in finding the right babysitters to pick up your child and care for them in your home until you are finished with work.
About Me:
I am an award-winning nanny with over 16 years of experience, specialising in caring for children from birth to teenagers. I run my own childcare business focused on mentoring and training parents and caregivers + Nanny Matching Services. My experience includes working with families from diverse cultural backgrounds, which has deepened my understanding and respect for cultural differences. I have also trained several nannies and provided guidance to parents in London.
Childminder website will soon be launched!
Get in touch to know more about me.
Thank you

Fabiana is a wonderful nanny who I trust 100% with my daughter.
She's incredibly fun, kind, organised and caring. She has a natural instinct when it comes to looking after children. She organises fun activities (eg: picnic in the park, crafts, making a cardboard house, playdates). She gives cuddles whenever needed, but also disciplines gently but effectively- like a parent would. She plans the week ahead and cooks really well too. You can tell she genuinely cares about the children she looks after. She has a big smile, warm heart and is someone I trust completely in my home and with my daughter- a true gem!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

If I could hire Fabiana full-time, I would. She's smart, responsible and real. Always incredibly thoughtful and kind to children and adults! She has a special gift and love for children. I engage her services for my son whenever I can -- he adores her and I feel that he is in very good hands in her care. Plus she's calm, cool and collected when the wee ones act up -- always seems to know just what to do gently, and almost effortlessly.

Fabiana or "Babi" as our little girl call her, was our best choice of babysitter we had so far!
Leaving our girl with someone we didn't know should have being the hardest thing in the word, but "Babi" reassured me and comforted us!
We are so blessed to have her in our life!
She is so arty and crafty has involvement in local groups ,baking and play time,also, the most important for us, she is fun, caring ,trustworthy and warm person.
We don't have her as a Babysitter but as a member of our family!
We'd recommend her to anyone and everyone!
Thank you Babi for everything you have being done to us, we cant recommend you highly enough.
