My Summary
About Me
Hello, I’m starting a new childcare business in Old Town, Stevenage! With over 16 years of experience caring for children, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, creative, and loving environment for your little ones.
After moving to Stevenage to be closer to family, I found it challenging to find a childminder I felt confident in (and the few ones I liked were already full).
That’s why I’ve decided to care for my own child at home while also looking after other children, ensuring they have a happy day while parents can work in peace.
I will create a warm and inviting space where kids can play, explore their indoor space, and enjoy our garden. We even have an 8-minute allotment where they can plant and pick their own fruits and vegetables!
I’m in the process of registering my business and hope to start by July/August.
If you’re looking for a caring childminder who prioritises safety, kindness and happiness, I’d love to hear from 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.
