I am a 32 years old Chilean Primary School Teacher of English that has been living in Australia for the past two years. I currently hold a Student visa as I’m studying a Master in Teaching (Primary Education and Childcare). I am a dedicated and experienced Primary School English Teacher with 5 years of hands-on experience working with children from 6 to 8 years old. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to providing a safe, loving and stimulating environment for children to thrive. In addition to that, I have spent more than 10 years looking after children of various ages, starting from 6 month up to 15 years old both here in Australia and in Chile.
My skills and qualifications include:
1. Childcare Expertise: I have a deep understanding of child development and behavior, ensuring that I can create age-appropriate activities that promote learning and growth. I have experience working with children with special needs (ADHD, ASD, and emotional trauma) both in educational and nannying environments. I have training on Literacy Acquisition, Forest School Education, which I love to apply as I love the outdoors, and I have studies on Emotional Education.
2. Safety First: I prioritize the safety and well-being of children under my care. I am certifies in CPR and First Aid, and I am vigilant in maintaining a secure and nurturing environment. I believe in the importance of involving children in the identification of risks in their playing area to encourage a safer playing and autonomy in them.
3. Effective communication: I believe in open and transparent communication with both parents and children. I am at keeping parents informed about their child’s activities, milestones, and any concerns that may arise.
4. Household Management: In addition to child care, I am skilled in managing household tasks, including meal preparation, light housekeeping, and organizing activities that contribute to a positive and structured daily routine.
5. Adaptability: I am flexible and adaptable, capable of handling unexpected situations with calmness and composture. I understand the importance of adjusting my approach to meet the unique needs of each child.
