My Summary

My Experience

I have been an Au Pair for nearly four years, caring for children ranging from 5 months to 13 years old. My experience has equipped me with the skills needed to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment for children. In my current role in London, I am responsible for helping with household chores, organizing each child's daily routine, and facilitating their mental, social, and educational development.

I have extensive experience managing household responsibilities, including laundry, cleaning, cooking, and scheduling medical appointments. My role also involves planning and executing age-appropriate activities that promote educational and social development, such as reading, storytelling, art projects, and educational outings.

A significant aspect of my work has been introducing the Portuguese language to children through everyday interactions, fostering bilingualism in a natural and engaging manner. My commitment to promoting creativity, language skills, and cultural awareness has been a core element of my approach, allowing me to contribute positively to the families I work with.

In every position, I strive to create a warm, supportive, and culturally enriching environment that encourages children to explore their interests and develop their abilities, all while ensuring their well-being and happiness.
