A little bit about me

As the fifth of six children, I have had extensive experience working with children from a young age. Beginning at 13, I assisted with Sunday School and Children's Church, developing my skills in youth development and education. Additionally, I have had the pleasure of mentoring and caring for numerous nieces, further honing my ability to connect with and support young people. Outside of my professional pursuits, I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with family, which has broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of diverse cultures and values.

A little bit about me

I’ve worked as a swimming teacher and an auxiliary preschool teacher, and I’ve had the joy of caring for my nine nephews, which has given me extensive experience with kids. I’m all about creating fun, educational activities and keeping everything tidy and organized.

I also hold a C2 level Cambridge certificate, so my English is strong, which should help with smooth communication with the family and engaging with the kids.

The family’s reputation for being warm and supportive really draws me to this position. I’m ready to be flexible with my schedule and provide the best care possible.

Thank you for considering my application. I’d love to chat more about how I can fit into your family and support you all. Feel free to reach out to me at [phone number hidden] or [email hidden] to set up a time to talk.

Best,
Andrea
