Mother tongue: Spanish

School vacations from 20 to 24 February: I took care of two small children aged 2 and 3. During the week of school vacations I had to take them to the park and play with the little ones, the bath and be present at dinner time.
Since October 2022: I have taken care of five children from two different families. I take care of two children in one family: a 10 year old boy and a 14 year old girl, and three children in the other family: 2 boys: 12 and 10, and a 6 year old girl. I have to pick them up from school and help the youngest children with their homework with both families, give them their after school snacks and take them to the activities, as well as prepare dinner in the evening. With the 14 year old girl, we do small conversation sessions to reinforce her Spanish skills.
September 2020 – April 2021: I worked with a family in the suburbs of Paris. I took care of two girls aged 5 and 9. I was in charge of picking up the girls from school, giving them snacks, providing dinner and bathing; as well as games and activities for the youngest.
January 2019 – August 2020: I stayed as an Au Pair for a year and a half with a family with two children: 18 months and four years old. This experience allowed me to get to know the world of children. I had to pick up the children from school and nursery, give them baths, make them dinner, provide playtime and be responsible for bedtime occasionally.
As a student in Paris I did a master’s degree in Hispanic and Hispanic-American studies. I also do occasional baby sittings in the evenings and during school vacations.
