About the author
Beka Guimarães
Beka is a former nanny of over 18 years, creator, and founder of Baby Bare Essentials, driven by a passion for supporting families with clear, practical, and compassionate guidance during the early years of childhood.
After witnessing both the beauty and challenges of early childhood firsthand, she recognized how overwhelmed many new parents feel due to conflicting information and lack of organized support. This realization inspired her to create The Complete Baby Essentials Guide & Planner — a thoughtfully researched and beautifully designed resource aimed at bringing clarity, confidence, and peace of mind to parents.
Through this blog, Beka shares insights, reflections, and resources on child development, routines, bonding, feeding, organization, and maternal well-being, always with a gentle, evidence-informed, and real-life approach.
Her mission is simple: to help parents feel more prepared, less anxious, and more present in every stage of early childhood.
