About me

Hey there! My name is Rafaela, but you can call me Rafa (Hafa). I’m originally from Brazil and bring six years of hands-on infant and toddler care experience combined with a Master’s in Data Science and deep independent studies in Psychology. I analyze baby sleep patterns with both empathy and analytical precision to create custom schedules that actually work for your family. Beyond sleep, my focus is on holistic education that promotes healthy emotional and psychological development, always rooted in the principles of secure attachment. I would love to help your family have better rest!

Rafa is an exceptional caregiver with a special talent for getting infants to sleep. She helped get our 4 month old daughter on a nap routine, which made our lives so much easier. A true baby whisperer, Rafa has an eye for observing each infant’s individual sleep pattern and cues. From that knowledge, she develops a custom tailored sleep plan for your baby. I would highly recommend her!

Rafa took care of our infant daughter for several months. She was patient, loving, and kind. She kept a close eye on her cues, patterns, and behaviors and suggested changes to her schedule or other routines based on her experience helping my daughter (and us as first-time parents) to grow and thrive. She also always respected our wishes for her care. She was reliable and trustworthy. I never worried for a second when my daughter was in her care, and my daughter would light up when she came to care for her. I highly recommend Rafa especially for your infant!

Rafa was an amazing nanny for our family. She was incredibly loving and attentive to our child and took excellent care of him. She was always punctual and perfectly communicative. She taught our child skills and worked with him on his language and communication. Our child was a very picky eater but Rafa was always more successful than we were to get him eat a variety of things and she helped us figure out tricks to get him to eat new foods and textures. Rafa was wonderful with our son's sleep and would do what was needed to get naps in including contact naps or walking him in his stroller. She was even able to offer advice on getting our baby to sleep when he was struggling or going through a regression. To top it all off, Rafa was awesome with our very active dog. Rafa meshed with our family very quickly and we had no hesitation trusting her fully with caring for our little one. We wish we could have continued working with Rafa, but some circumstances in our lives changed and we had to part ways. I would absolutely recommend Rafa to any family looking for loving and reliable childcare.
