My Summary
About Me
I am a dependable, compassionate and hard working childcarer with a breadth of experience working with families from a wide variety of backgrounds, caring for a diverse range of children and infants of all ages. I have over four years of experience providing optimal care to children as young as 6 months old.
My entire childhood and education was carried out in France. In high school, I was part of the International British Section in the Lycée International Montebello in Lille, where I discovered a passion for English. I combined my interested in English and children, and moved to London to become an au pair. After having had a fantastic experience as an au pair, getting to know more about childcare and the British culture, I decided to stay in the UK indefinitely and work as a Nanny. In the meantime, I was also in the process of obtaining a BA in Cultural Studies with the University of Lille, where I learned about Linguistics, Grammar and Translation in both English and French.
I am now about to start a PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages (French and Spanish) to train to become a secondary school teacher. I’m very excited about it!
