About Me
I am marriage mum of 5 beautiful children. I am Portuguese, Spanish and English speaker. As a catholic family we have Christ at the centre of everything and we do.
After a couple of years working as Administrator support and having my fourth child, I decided to spend more quality time with my family whilst offering the same service to others.
I live in East London in a quiet area with a private car park, easy access to A13 and to transports over East London and to Central London.
I offer a warm, safe, secure and stimulating environment for your little ones to learn and grow with indoor and outdoor patio space to wonder and explore. All toys, books and resources which the children can access, are all age appropriate.
I regularly visit local parks, toddler groups and libraries with the children.
I also provide 1 full warm and nutritious meal and 2 snacks.
I am Ofsted registered also a Gold member of Childcare.co.uk. I can plan for the children's development using the EYFS framework through observation assessment and planning. I provide opportunities to the children socialise, communicate, have fun, learn, explore, be confident, develop physically and emotionally in a safe, nurturing and protected way.
I am friendly, fun, reliable and dedicated to my work. I understand parents concerns and anxieties so it is important to build a strong relationship whilst keeping them informed of their child's progress with daily updates, pictures etc. (especially at the beginning). Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. (no obligations)

Uau, thanks for your words, my dear and trust! It was always a pleasure to have your beautiful children around. 🥰
Erica and I met as our daughters attended the same school. Erica always gave me a sense that she was an open and caring person. As soon as I discovered Erica was providing childcare services, I immediately inquired and she took care of my 6 year old daughter - escorting her from school to her home, feeding her and providing fun and stimulating activities, which my daughter would enjoy with her children. Erica was also able to offer her services during holiday periods, and would take my daughter on day trips while sending me regular updates with photos. When I had special request, Erica ensured to meet these requirement eg drinking plenty of water. My daughter enjoyed her time with Erica very much and also learnt some Portugese! Erica has strong principles and is always polite, communicates effectively so my daughter would understand and cooperate. In a nutshell, I highly recommend Erica and 100% trust to leave my daughter in her good hands any time!
