I love being a sitter because it allows me to build meaningful relationships with children and their families. Watching children grow, learn, and develop their unique personalities is incredibly rewarding. I enjoy creating a safe and nurturing environment where kids feel supported, valued, and happy. I have over 15 years of experience working with children as both a teacher and a nanny. I’ve worked with children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old, tailoring my care and educational approaches to suit their developmental needs. My experience includes teaching English as a second language, organizing activities to promote learning and creativity, and providing attentive care to ensure children feel safe and loved. I have a master’s degree in education and a degree in applied linguistics for language teaching, which have given me strong teaching and communication skills. I speak Spanish, English and intermediate Italian. Additionally, I am experienced in creating Read more engaging educational activities, managing multiple children at once, and ensuring their well-being. I’m also skilled in fostering independence and confidence in children, and I prioritize building trust and open communication with families.
