My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Sandra, I'm a mum of 2 children (in full time education).
I'm from Portugal, but living in London since 2000, where and when I started my childcare experience/career.
I describe myself as a very responsible, empathic, trustworthy, caring, honest, friendly, authentic and active person.
Love being a mum, spending time with my family, socialising, outdoors, helping people (from baby to adults) to feel happy and confident in their journey through healthy living and positive mindset, love music & dancing as well as travel.
My Experience
I have been working in childcare for over 2 decades, as a nanny, Nursery assistant and after becoming a first time mum in 2010, I have been helping other families from my home as a childminder for 6 years full time, wrap-around care and my latest role as a primary school TA and MFL teacher, as well as offering ELSA sessions to a healthier wellbeing of our pupils.
I love working with children, there is nothing more rewarding than playing a part in the upbringing of our children and working closely with parents and carers. I take my role as a childcare professional very seriously and I aim to give each child a fun, caring and learning environment through positive mindset and role play, whilst making the whole childcare process as easy as possible for parents.

Sandra looked after my 2 sons for over 2 years.
During that time Sandra provide healthy meals, a whole host of activities both inside and outside. She offered trips to museums, parks and play centers in the school holidays and had a excellent structure to the days.
Our sons loved visiting Sandra's house where she provide a warm and loving environment. On top of all of that Sandra is a pleasure to deal with and very efficient and very honest.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
