My Summary

My Experience

I have been a babysitter for 6 years, since I was 14, first in France (where I am from) and then in Montreal, Canada (where I currently live and study). I have taken care of newborns and toddlers for a neighboring family in France for a year in the Paris region, then a few neighboring families with whom I spoke English and whom I helped with their homework. I babysat our friends' children for years until they were old enough to stay home alone, from 14 to 18. Around that time, I got into language tutoring and after school help for children in primary school and teenagers. In Montreal, I tutored a child who had severe ADHD and helped her learn French so that she could communicate and better integrate at school, and worked in a special school called the Little Red Playhouse; a place for children with special needs that focused on getting a higher staff to children ratio, for better and more intensive care.

My Qualifications

I have a valid DSB check and a have been a lifeguard in the past in several places, so I have extensive knowledge of first aid and pediatric first aid. I have worked in real conditions, where I have had to take care of children constantly, and deeply value that experience. I developed patience and understanding, and also really enjoy this kind of work. I am very happy to help with homework, cooking or bedtime routines as well, and I am a very punctual and organized person. References from families I've helped can be provided upon request.

My Availability

I am available anytime and have a very flexible schedule, just give me a call :)
