I was born and raised in France, and studied there until my last year of Maths bachelor degree. For my final year in this degree, I choose to study in the USA, in Flagstaff, Arizona. I then started my graduate program in Hamilton, Ontario.
I have always wanted to be an au pair, but that time will probably come when I am done with my studies. In the mean time, I would like to experience a part of this au pair life by babysitting kids here in Canada and teaching them about my culture.
I love teaching new skills and games to the kids I babysit. I hope I can create a strong bond with them and learn things from them too!
I had different experiences with kids before:
My first one started when my aunt had two kids, so I helped babysitting them if needed.
Then, I worked with a family who had two children: a 6 years old girl and a 8 year old boy. I looked after them every wednesday afternoon for a semester.
I also had, this same semester, to look after three boys on Saturdays: 6 years old tweens and their 10 years old brother.
In 2022, on the two last weeks of June I took care of an 8years old girl and a 6 years old boy every morning before school and every Wednesday all day long.
During summer 2022 I took care of a 6 years old girl and her 3 years old brother every week day for a month.
This summer, I took care of a 6 years old little boy with an handicap. It was only for a week and on occasional days when the parents coudn't find a day camp for him. Sometimes, his 10 years old sister would be with us as well !
When I babysit, I like to play a lot of board and outdoor games. I also like to cook and sometimes have a "calm" time with them when we can read or choose quiet activities. I like to play the guitar and listen to music with them. I helped a lot of them with their homeworks and took them to their activities and clubs when needed.
