I also love all animals and have no issues on that front. I love getting outside, playing tennis and going on hikes. I hope to spread kindness and believe all children should feel comfortable being themselves. I understand it takes a village, and I am hoping to be a part of yours :)

Dear Parents, I am an experienced nanny who has had the privilege of growing up in a large family with many children. My passion for education and childcare led me to dedicate three years of my life to teaching in an underprivileged school program. Over the past few years, I have built a strong foundation in childcare through roles as a teacher, au pair, and nanny. One of the unique aspects I bring to the table is my proficiency in multiple languages as a foreigner. I am enthusiastic about sharing my language skills with your children, providing them with a valuable opportunity for language acquisition and cultural enrichment. Having children around me brings me immense joy, and this love for their company has been a driving force in my career choices. For the past two years, I have had the privilege of serving as a dedicated nanny to three families, including toddlers and newborns. This experience has equipped me with the skills and patience needed to ensure the well-being and development of your precious little ones. Reliability is at the core of my work ethic, and I take pride in being a dependable caregiver. As a nanny, I understand that parents often have busy lives, and I am here to assist you by taking some of the responsibilities off your plate, allowing you to focus on other important aspects of your life. In summary, I am a dedicated and experienced professional who is passionate about childcare and education. I bring a wealth of experience, multilingual skills, and a nurturing nature to create a safe and enriching environment for your children. I would be honored to join your family and contribute to your child's growth and happiness. Thank you for considering me as a potential caregiver for your loved ones. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can meet your family's specific needs and expectations.

Hi! I've just finished my second year in University. I'm studying in the hope of becoming a child psychologist, so I am very motivated to get to know every child and help them through life. I also have some preliminary knowledge on how children develop. I have looked after and entertained kids occaisionally, incuding young cousins and family friends, who are 4 years old and older. I am looking for part-time or full-time jobs. I am very creative and imaginitive and implement this in playing with kids. I'm honestly a child at heart and would fully immerse myself in their make-believe worlds. In saying this, I am very organised and have time management skills, but I can handle spontanaity too.
