Hi Families, I'm Rafa! I am an Infant Specialist from Brazil, based in Royal Oak. With 5+ years of experience (ages 0-2), I specialize in creating the calm, predictable environments infants need to thrive. What I offer: • Expert Soothing & Sleep: I combine a natural talent for calming infants with proven, evidence-based tools. I am currently becoming a Certified Sleep Consultant to provide deeper expertise in gentle techniques that improve a baby's rest. • A Data-Driven Approach: With a Master's in Data Science and a passion for psychology, I analyze sleep/feeding patterns to anticipate needs before they become stressors. This approach builds consistent schedules that foster secure attachment and healthy emotional development. • Safety: Fully vaccinated, CPR/First Aid certified, and a strong driver with my own car. I'd love to chat about how my specialized background can help your little one stay happy and well-rested!
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!
