More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I worked in a summer course with children.
I was a swimming teacher for two years, I taught the children how to swim. I taught them how to hold their breath and how to dive, from 3 month old babies to 10 year olds.
I was working with a family for two years taking care of a 6 year old who was 4 when I met him and a 4 year old who was 2 when I met him.
I taught the older one to add, to read and the younger one to count, I read to him all the time.
I also taught them Spanish, so they knew the colors. Numbers, letters, among other things.

I like working with children very much, I think it is very important the environment where they develop and of course who helps them to realize how the outside world is.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Swimming
Ride the bike
Play video games
Go to the park
Hiking
Exploring new places
Go to the mall
Play in the back yard
Show them how to play football
Arts and crafts
Hide and seek
Legos

The most important part about being a nanny...

The important part of being a nanny s that the parents trust you as well as the children, so that when the parents are not present, they feel confident that their children will be safe and continue learning and being cared for.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment is when you teach a child to do something new and he learns it and to see his face when he can do it, it's beautiful and then he brags to everyone that he learned how to do it and he knows that it was thanks to you ❤️
