    🌟 Meet Our Loving Family in Cascais! 🏡

    Hello! We are a tight-knit family residing in the picturesque and historic city of Cascais, just a short 30-minute drive from the vibrant city of Lisbon. We live in a beautiful central to the beach neighborhood. Our apartment boasts a prime location that is nothing short of a treasure trove for exploration. Situated in the heart of Cascais, we are surrounded by the vibrant energy of local life. Step outside, and you'll find yourself in the midst breathtaking sea views, cafes, parks, cultural hubs, and the unique charm that defines our neighborhood. Our home is filled with laughter, love, ✡ spirituality, and the joy of experiencing life's little moments together.

    I am hard-working and devoted single mother, the heart of our family. I have been tirelessly juggling work, parenting, and household responsibilities, and now seeking a warm and caring nanny to join our family and provide a helping hand.

    👩‍👧 Meet My Precious Daughter:
    My vibrant and imaginative bilingual young daughter brings so much joy to into my life. She loves exploring nature, playing music, dancing, laying with friends, gymnastics, and building sandcastles on the beach. We are a family that values quality time, nature, The Divine, and we are deeply involved in our community.

    🌿 Our Family Values:
    Being connected to our roots, Nature, music, stopping to smell the roses and community are at the core of who we are. We are vegan/vegetarian inside the home and eat fish as well. We appreciate the simple pleasures of life and cherish our time spent together as a family. While we are religious, our approach is laid-back, focusing on love, kindness, and understanding.
