About Tati

Someone your children like, and you trust.

I care for children the way I'd want someone to care for family - calmly, patiently, and on their terms. I've looked after children of family members and family friends for years, from toddlers through to school age, and I'm just as comfortable in a home with dogs, cats or anything in between.

Every family runs differently, and I follow your routines, your rules and your house - not the other way round.

Local to Alvor

Patient with every animal she meets - not just the ones on the lead.

Whether it's your dog, your cat, or something in between, Tati takes the same calm, unhurried approach - the same one your children get.

Walks along Alvor's beach and harbour, at a pace that suits your dog.

How I work with children

Child-led, unhurried, and led by your rules - not mine.

Activities follow what your child's actually interested in that day, with screens kept to a minimum unless you'd rather I didn't.
