About Me
Hello! I am an experienced educator passionate about nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning. With over eight years of teaching and tutoring experience, I have worked with students aged 6 to 14 in a multilingual and multicultural setting. I lived in various countries in Europe and Asia and was educated in the UK with 2 MAs and a CELTA Certificate. I am also a qualified conference interpreter with 3 active languages - English, Cantonese & Chinese. I am excited to bring my skills and expertise to a babysitting role, explicitly targeting families seeking a multilingual caregiver.
Experience and Strengths:
Extensive Teaching Background: With a solid education foundation, I deeply understand child development and the various learning styles of young students. This knowledge allows me to create engaging and age-appropriate activities catering to their needs.
Multilingual Proficiency: Having interacted with diverse groups of students, I am fluent in English, Cantonese and Chinese, which not only allows me to communicate with children from various linguistic backgrounds effectively but also opens up opportunities for language enrichment in a fun and interactive manner.
Cultural Sensitivity: I am adept at navigating and appreciating cultural differences, which enables me to create a harmonious and inclusive environment for all children under my care.
Patience and Empathy: Throughout my years in education, I have developed a high level of patience and empathy. Every child is unique and may require different learning and behaviour management approaches.
Adaptability: My experience has taught me to be flexible and adaptable to changing situations. This skill proves invaluable when dealing with the unpredictability of children.
Safety and First Aid Awareness: Safety is paramount. I am well-versed in basic first aid procedures and am vigilant about creating a secure environment for children.
Strong Communication Skills: I am an effective communicator, ensuring parents are informed of their child's activities, progress, and any relevant concerns.
I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to bring my educational background and multicultural proficiency to a babysitting role. I aim to provide your children with a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment while respecting and incorporating their linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
Thank you for considering me as a potential caregiver for your family. I look forward to the possibility of becoming a valued member of your child's support network.
Warm regards,
Kassy Dongyan Sun
