Having support in the early days of having a newborn and during the first years is an investment in a greater, better today and tomorrow. This precious time is the foundation of this new human being and it has a huge impact mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually for the years to come. Let’s make a brilliant start!
How can I help?
I am offering nanny services at your own home. My aim is to provide a service tailored to your family needs and to your child’s needs. The extra support gives you time to have some space/work/do activities and also provides an opportunity for the child to relate to another adult. I work one to one and with siblings. I also offer nanny share, I take care of children from two different families at your own house.
If we likened raising a child to build a house, the foundation is the base that is reflected by pregnancy, birth and the early years of a human being. The same as the foundation holds the house this early stage is very important and delicate which deserves the best: love, safety and presence so the child can feel happy to explore and be curious.
My role is to nourish, assist, watch, encourage, guide and put boundaries when required. I work with Child led activities following their interests. I support their emotions when they arise. I build a relationship of trust. As a professional with lots of experience I am able to also offer suggestions to support your child’s development.
I started my studies inspired by my own nursery nurse, I loved how she created a loving, nurturing and fun space for the little ones (I used to see her regularly for my first 12 years). I hold an NVQ Level 4 in Childcare and QTS (Qualified Teacher Status), as well as a Paediatric First Aid and DBS (Update service). I am Ofsted registered. I have more than 10 years of experience of working as a nanny and in nursery settings. My interest in a holistic education has driven me to do courses and travel to different countries to experience different ways of educating.
When friends around me started giving birth I got very interested about the beginning of life, especially for the impact I could see. I thought that support could bring a huge difference to this transition, and I started my training as a Doula. I have done trainings with Paramana Doula, Conscious birthing, Understanding newborns, and a Breastfeeding study day. I have been part of the organization Doula UK for 8+ years. I also have understood in my own skin the difference it makes in having support in some stages in life and I enjoy offering a tailored support for families.
I am based in Exeter and I am from Spain (Catalonia). As a kid I was part of the scouts&guides (mixed group) for 3 years and then I decided to continue as a co-leader of the younger groups for 3 years more. I learnt lots of things like “if you can dream it you can do it”, the importance of team work, and the feeling of connection in the community, I loved it! I have beautiful memories of singing around the fire.
In my free time I enjoy being with my friends, dancing, a walk in nature (I love the coast path), swimming and surfing. I am also into crochet, knitting and baking.
