Introduction

I am a mother of two and a professional teacher passionate about working with children. My background has allowed me to engage with kids of all ages, both in the classroom and at home, giving me a rich understanding of how to nurture and inspire young minds. As a mother, I have honed my ability to provide patient, caring, and attentive support. I love creating a safe, educational, and fun environment for children, and I enjoy sharing my hobbies with them, including reading books, listening to music, singing, drawing, and engaging in creative activities like arts and crafts. I also enjoy playing with toys, Legos, and board games, which help children build problem-solving skills while having fun. I look forward to providing your children with a joyful, stimulating atmosphere while you are away.

Experience

I have extensive experience working with children as a professional teacher and a mother of two young children, one aged three years and five months and the other one year and seven months. Throughout my teaching career, I have had the opportunity to interact with students aged 15 to 20, guiding them in their learning and development within a classroom setting. My role as a teacher has equipped me with solid skills in managing behaviour, fostering positive learning environments, and engaging students in creative and educational activities. Additionally, as a mother, I have firsthand experience understanding and responding to children's day-to-day needs, ensuring their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. Raising my own young children has further enhanced my ability to provide nurturing, patient, and attentive care. I am also skilled in cooking various foods, which adds to my ability to ensure children are well-cared for, nourished, and comfortable. These combined experiences have allowed me to handle a variety of situations with care, patience, and attention to detail, making me well-prepared to support and guide children of different ages.
