About Me

I am from a Lithuanian-German family and grew up in a big, loving family. My father was a stay-at-home dad, so I spent most of my childhood exploring and understanding nature and doing creative activities.
Now I am an artist myself, mostly doing aquarelle and printmaking. I also studied the Swedish language and I am fluent in it, as well as in German, English, and Lithuanian.

I am:
Crafty.
I have a lot of ideas for creative activities. From crocheting and DIY's to drawing and working with clay.

Multicultural.
As someone from a multicultural language, I am used to switching between languages and always having an open mind to others' traditions and beliefs.

Nurturing.
I am very emphatic and calm, and my main goal when working with children is to help them understand and express themselves. I believe it is important to create healthy and reasonable boundaries to help the child become more independent and resilient while being caring and kind.

My Experience

While looking after a 1.8-year-old boy, my responsibility was to spend most of our time outside, playing in nature and cooking a warm meal. We also did some drawing and indoor playing.
I worked for 9 hours/week for 1/2 year.

While looking after a 3-5-year-old girl, we also spent most of the time outside, going for little walks and playing on the playground. We were also cooking or baking together, playing with her toys, and drawing.
I worked for 5 hours/week for 2 years.


I also have experience working in a Waldorf kindergarten as an assistant teacher, for two months, before moving to Oxford. I worked in a group of 18 children, ages 2-7.
