My Summary
About Me
Hello! I’m Marielle, a fun and outgoing childcare professional born in London. With a passion for nurturing children's growth, I also speak French, enabling me to introduce language and culture to the little ones I care for. My core values revolve around gratitude for my environment and being my authentic self.
I have built a wealth of experience in maintaining a healthy, stimulating, and safe environment for children. My educational journey includes studying child linguistics at New York University, a significant achievement that has enriched my approach to child development. I excel in creating engaging learning experiences tailored to each child's unique needs while emphasising the importance of learning through play and exploration.
Currently, I run Étoile Childcare, where we specialise in high-quality babysitting and childminding services. My unique philosophy combines elements of hygge, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia, focusing on a child-centred atmosphere that ensures comfort and warmth. My goal is to provide a harmonious childcare experience where children feel secure and valued, akin to a "home away from home."
At Étoile Childcare, I foster an environment that encourages creativity, exploration, and emotional development. Additionally, our caregivers are equipped to teach French, nurturing cognitive development through language acquisition from an early age. I believe that strong community connections support both children and parents, creating an extended family network. I recognise that parenting can be lonely and overwhelming, and not everyone is fortunate to have that small village here at Étolie.
My skills include excellent organisation and attention to detail, ensuring a smooth operation as I meet the needs of both children and families. I am dedicated to continuous learning, ready to acquire new skills that enhance my ability to serve those in my care.
If you're looking for a nurturing and enriching childcare experience that promotes growth, security, and stability, well-being for your child, allowing the kids we work with to have a healthy, secure attachment style, please feel free to reach out. I would love to discuss how Étoile Childcare can support your family's journey!
My Experience
I have built a comprehensive foundation in childcare and early education through my diverse experiences and positions. I work as an Early Years Practitioner, where I have developed a strong ability to create a healthy, safe, and stimulating environment for children. My role involves promoting their growth and development while nurturing relationships with the children and their families. I've gained valuable skills in effective communication, emotional attunement, and delivering engaging learning experiences tailored to individual needs. In academic areas, I am currently pursuing a BSc (Hons) degree in Psychology at Bath Spa University. This coursework has provided insights into developmental processes and the complexities of human behaviour, allowing me to understand the needs of children better and apply psychological principles within my practice. My experience in child linguistics at New York University, particularly regarding developmental language disorders, has further enhanced my specialist knowledge in supporting children's language development. A significant aspect of my professional journey has been my focus on special needs, including autism and developmental language disorders (DLD). My academic pursuits, particularly my involvement in the Engage with Developmental Language Disorder Project at New York University, highlight my experience in presenting my research poster at the Society for Research in Child Development (SRCLD) conference. This opportunity allowed me to share my findings on the impact of child linguistics on children's learning and social interactions. Under the supervision of Sudha Arunachalam, I contributed to lab research focused on child language acquisition, strengthening my knowledge of language development and the socio-emotional aspects of language disorders. I am eager to provide a nurturing and enriching learning experience that promotes their growth and well-being, particularly those with special needs.
