I was an elementary school teacher in France for 26 years. I arrived in British Columbia just over three weeks ago. I would like to continue teaching or work with one or more children as a nanny, which is a role I can easily envision myself in. I have three children of my own, aged 22, 20, and 13. My two adult children are responsible young adults, and my teenage daughter, like her siblings, is filled with respect for her peers, her parents, her family, as well as for property, places, animals, etc. I cannot imagine raising my children any other way. As a teacher, I know how to earn respect while also being loved by my students. This is something I hold dear; I believe it is important not to confuse kindness with leniency. It is essential to provide a child with a great deal of well-being and confidence, and this is achieved by setting boundaries. A child who has no understanding of frustration is an unhappy child. Therefore, whether with my own children or with my students, I have always found the right balance to help them flourish and become wonderful individuals. In the case of my students, it also meant making them happy to see me every morning. I look forward to meeting you.

I arrived from France a little over three weeks ago. For 26 years, I worked as an elementary school teacher in France. Today, I would like either to continue teaching or to work with children, but in a different setting. During these 26 years, I taught children aged three to eleven. I also worked for two years with children aged twelve to sixteen who had severe psychological disorders. Being a nanny could be a great way to build a strong bond with a child and their family. You can also speak French in addition to English, which can be an added benefit in the child's daily, playful learning experience. I have three children of my own, aged 22, 20, and 13.
