Teaching Assistant & Designated Safeguarding Lead Assistant / Pastoral Care Coordinator – The British School of Monaco
After returning to Nice from the Emirates, I worked in a newly opened primary school in Monaco (October 2022). My role involved assisting teachers and students in the classroom, as well as providing one-on-one support to children needing additional help. I contributed to reading, math, English, and writing activities, particularly as a significant percentage of our students were non-English speakers. Additionally, I was the Designated Safeguarding Lead, responsible for ensuring the welfare of children and compliance with safeguarding regulations at the school.
November 2017 – January 2022
Nanny – Private Family – United Arab Emirates
I had sole care of a 2.5-year-old girl, later expanding to her older and younger siblings, for a high-profile Emirati family. The role evolved over time, particularly during the pandemic, when I homeschooled her for two years. My responsibilities included organizing playdates, scheduling medical and educational appointments, coordinating with a full household staff, and traveling extensively. Administrative tasks included planning the schedules for all three children, arranging travel itineraries, managing after-school activities, and handling financial matters related to the children’s expenses and meal planning.
March 2017 – July 2017
Temporary Governess in Saudi Arabia and Washington, D.C.
I had sole care of two boys, aged 3.5 and 6 years, alongside a qualified British nanny, for a prominent Saudi family. This role required significant flexibility due to frequent travel. I was hired to ensure the boys engaged in stimulating activities that encouraged their educational, physical, and social development, while also adapting to different cultures and learning respect and discretion. I also assisted the mother with personal affairs.
July 2010 – July 2013
Club Med
During my time at Club Med, I worked for extended periods at luxury resorts in locations such as Southern France, Marrakech, Turkey, and the Italian and French Alps.
Initially, I worked with infants and young children before being promoted to Teen Coordinator. My responsibilities included organizing daytime activities such as outdoor sports and entertainment, including performances written and rehearsed by myself and colleagues. I was also responsible for a significant portion of administrative and safety procedures, ensuring the children’s wellbeing and addressing related issues.
I am the eldest of two siblings. I grew up in Italy but my parents are English. I have a passion for traveling and cooking.
