A little bit about me
Back home, I did a 3-year apprenticeship to become a daycare educator and graduated. In those 3 years I worked with children from 1 year to 4 years old.
After graduation I started working in a daycare for one year.
From 2022 to 2024 I was an au pair in U.S and worked and lived with a family and took care of two children (boy now 7 years old and the girl is 5 years old). Through this experience, I was able to fully experience the life of a parent and better understand children's all-around behavior. Above all, I was able to gain more knowledge of the English language. As a returned home, I worked in a daycare from February until July of 2024 and I did babysit for a family.
I do speak five languages: Italian, Portuguese, English, French, German and a bit of Spanish.
I can describe myself as a creative, responsible, passionate and patient person.
