My Summary
About Me
Dear Families,
My name is Sarafina and I am a french nanny with a passion of working with children, I adapt a Montessori approach to my style of nannying. My Previous employers have described me as reliable and a ‘natural’ with children. I have recently worked with a child who had additional needs ( angel man syndrome ) and it was a beautiful experience.
I pride myself on my own personal development and always keep up to date with courses and government guidelines, I feel with my knowledge and my experience I am well equipped to play an important role in your child’s life; whilst always having their best interests at heart. I am adaptable in my work surroundings and very confident having sole charge.
I am a person volunteer, cheerful, reliable and open-minded, I would like to join a family in order to help in the care of children.
worked as a nanny, and Tutor for around 3-4 years (with children in a broad age range: 10 months-15 yearsold)(references available on request)) .
Some information on my person:
I am a sister of five- the oldest one.I am a familial, open-minded, creative, and humorous person who loves to do sports (playing badminton, going running, swimming), paint and sketch (observation drawings, fashion sketches and abstract art), read (I love books by Hermann Hesse, Paolo Coehlo, Colson Whitehead).
Back in France, Toulouse, me and my family lived with two Labradoodles hence why I spent much time outdoors, which I still enjoy daily.
I am a realiable, correct and orgnaised, tidy and honest person. I enjoy meeting new people and can quickly adapt to new environments and requirements.
I am enthusiastic about working with children and supporting families in their everyday lives, as I enjoy seeing the children grow up, being around as a confidante, friend, and authority.
During my previous nanny positions, I assisted with running errands and helping with general housekeeping duties. I tutored (french, English,) the children and helped with homework, prepared meals and lunch boxes, arranged playdates and sportive activities, and overall was an ever-present contact the children could play with or come and talk to.
As a sister of five myself, it was lovely to establish and strengthen my relationship with the families and children.
I am still in frequent contact with the children and families I used to work for.
I am available to start asap and am looking forward to meeting you personally!
Thank you,
Sarafina
