In October 2023 until May 2024 : I looked after two little boys aged 4 and 7 every Wednesday from 8am to 6pm. In the morning, I prepared their breakfast and got them ready to take the older one to his piano lessons. During the lesson, I took the younger one to the park. After piano, the little one had dance lessons. During the lesson, we went home with the older one so that we could prepare lunch and help him with his homework. The older one suffered from attention deficit disorder, so special support was needed. Once lunch was over, the afternoon was devoted to various activities (cinema, discovery activities, interactive children’s concert, museum and other sports/educational activities) and snacks.

In March 2023 until August 2023 : I took care of two little boys aged 2 and 4 every day from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to8 p.m. I gave them baths, made the little one nap, and prepared their
snacks, dinners and bottles for the youngest. The 2-year-old wore diapers so I gave him the necessary care and we were able to help the little one acquire the concept of potties with the collaboration of the parents. The older one, being enrolled in Hebrew kindergarten, I had the opportunity to learn with him some basics of writing and reading in Hebrew during his homework. The activities that I offer are adapted to the age of the children so for this family they were mainly creative and initiatory activities. In addition, I had the opportunity to take them to the park, put them to bed and watch over them some evenings.

In September 2021 until February 2022 : Every evening of the week, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., I would pick up a 7-year-old girl and her 4-year-old brother from school. We would go home to have a snack and do
homework. Afterwards we would do activities (games, stories, cinema, park, etc.). The eldest played the bassoon so I helped her revise every evening. In the evening, I would give them a bath and get them ready for bed. On Wednesday evenings, the eldest had bassoon lessons so I would take her to her lesson and spend the afternoon at the park or doing various activities with the children.

October 2021 to January 2022 : I babysat a child in the morning from 5:30 to 8:30. His mother left very early for work so he continued to sleep when I arrived, then I woke him up at 7:30. I prepared his breakfast, his clothes and his bag, then I took him to school at 8:30.

In September 2021 until November 2021 : I had the opportunity to be a supervisor in a private international primary school in Paris, welcoming children from 6 to 11 years old of all nationalities, most of whom speak English. I supervised recess times every Wednesday morning. In addition, I supervised and led meal time from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.

In March 2021 until April 2021 : During my professional studies in early childhood, I had the opportunity to do a 5-week internship in a primary school from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. I worked specifically in a ULIS class (Localized Units for School Inclusion) welcoming children with learning difficulties or developmental disorders. During this internship, I had the opportunity to work in collaboration with the teacher to supervise a class of 10 students. We organized activities (play dough, drawing, painting, cooking, etc.),
school trips and I helped the children during teaching time. I was also instructed during this internship to follow a particular student in collaboration with his specialized educator. This little boy had autism and was non-verbal. In this context, I was able to accompany this child and his educator in extra-curricular activities (library, park, etc.) and thus carry out development activities (writing, reading, mathematics, etc.).

In December 2019 : During my professional studies in early childhood, I had the opportunity to do a 3-week internship in a nursery from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. I supervised play times and nap times. I created activities for the children (drawings, modeling clay, painting, basic cooking, etc.). I gave bottles to the youngest and I assisted with diaper changes by the childcare
assistant.
