Childcare

Hello, my name is Charlotte and I have 20 year’s experience, taking care of children.
I come from England and now I am based in the Algarve Portugal.

My services include:

  • Holiday nanny
  • Travel nanny: I can come to your location and help you travel out to Portugal
  • Temporary nanny

My experience has mostly been working in private nursery settings for high profile customers and banks in London. Along with nannying in the UK, and here in Portugal, I also teach English online.
I come from a big family and often take care of 7 nieces and 4 nephews. My qualifications are a BA (Hons) in Early years, NNEB and First aid. I hold an enhanced criminal check from the UK and public liability insurance.

I am a respectful and discreet person with a good sense of humour and is very fond of children. They bring a freshness and energy to this world; I really enjoy their company. It’s really important to me to build strong relationships with the children I work with, and I do this by spending time with them playing and listening to what they have to say. Having clear boundaries and following through with what I say. But ensuring I give positive praise and encouragement and supporting their individual needs. I also feel it’s important to follow the child’s lead on their interests. When it comes to playing and learning. I also like reading stories putting on silly voices, to make the story engaging and fun. Along with exploring and learning through nature and the outside world. I would provide play and activities that supports a child’s age and stage, to positively promote their learning and development.

I love being active and outside, hiking, cycling or running. I am a keen cook and enjoy spending time baking and making delicious meals, especially with a cup of good coffee. I speak English and am in the early stages of learning Portuguese.

I charge 25 euros per hour with a minimum of 3 hours.
For 45 hours over a week/weekend I charge 1000 euros.
