Experience
Since February 2022:
I have been caring for three little girls aged 12, 7, and 2. In the evenings and on weekends, I organize activities suited to their ages: board games for the older ones, creative workshops (drawing, crafts), or storytelling and role-playing for the youngest. We also share meals, and I ensure their homework is completed before ending the day with a calm activity, such as a game or bedtime story.
From September 2023 to February 2024:
I took care of Zac, a 10-year-old boy. Besides accompanying him to his various activities (sports and arts), I made sure to spend quality time playing with him—card games, LEGO building, or outdoor park outings to let him burn off energy. I also helped him with homework, ensuring it remained a productive yet stress-free moment.
From September 2022 to June 2023:
I looked after two children, aged 10 and 8, from a neighboring family in Paris. After school, we followed a structured routine: snack time, homework help, and relaxing moments with board games or creative workshops (such as making beaded bracelets). This experience helped me develop my ability to balance learning and leisure effectively.
Every summer since 2021:
I spend my summers at my uncle and aunt’s home, where I regularly take care of my little cousin while they are at work. Together, we enjoy a variety of activities: walks, educational games, crafts, and even baking (he loves making cakes!). These moments have taught me patience and creativity in keeping a child engaged throughout the day.
Thanks to my Fine Arts studies, I offer activities that stimulate children’s creativity, such as painting workshops, collages, and games focused on colors and shapes. I also incorporate educational games like memory challenges or riddles related to their interests, making learning fun. Moreover, I easily adapt to different personalities and family routines, following parental guidelines to ensure a safe and structured environment.
