Summary

I am a 25-year-old student. Next year I will be studying and completing a Patisserie Chef course at Silwood, part time. I am available for full-time Au pairing for at least 8 months, and there after only unavailable on Wednesdays.

I am an enthusiastic and nurturing individual with a genuine passion for working with children.

I prioritize open communication with both children and parents, ensuring a supportive environment and I am proactive in promoting healthy habits and encouraging creativity through play and exploration. In addition to my childcare experience and skills, I am organized and can assist with household tasks, allowing me to contribute effectively to your family's daily routine. I am looking forward to creating lasting memories and making a positive impact during my time as your au pair. Outgoing child caregiver with experience caring for children while providing encouragement and kindness. Expert at guiding playtime, leading exercise activities, and teaching rules.
