Easygoing, joyful, I have always loved working with children. I am a French nanny who speaks English. I have been working with children aged between 3 and 15 since 2016. I am skilled at providing all round care of children in addition to teaching languages through games and activities. I have shared and sole charge experience in a variety of settings, including that of a nanny, teaching assistant and activity leader. I have plenty ideas of how to entertain children and assist them in reaching their milestones in a safe & fun manner.

Activity leader in the south of France
Activity leader during extracurricular times. (outside of school hours & in holidays )
Being an activity leader consists of not only in looking after a group of children but being part of their fulfillment.
I propose games and activities to children following a pedagogical project which aims at learning elementary things to children through fun.
Through these activities’ children learn values such as: how to behave in a group, they learn sharing, patience, encouragement.
I worked with children in Paris and in the south of France where I now live.
I also teach children aged between 3 to 15 languages through games and activities
