Experience
Originally translated from Español
I gained the most experience with children while caring for my niece, whom I have been with since she was born (she is now 10). Being an active part of her upbringing allowed me to develop a deep bond and a keen understanding of children's needs at every stage. We shared experiences ranging from games and outings to homework and important conversations, and today I remain a trusted figure in her life.
I also worked for several years as an English teacher, teaching children ages 1 to 10 in kindergartens and schools. I planned dynamic and creative lessons tailored to each age group, always prioritizing learning through play and connection. That experience taught me to be patient, organized, and very observant, and gave me the tools to support children not only academically, but also emotionally and socially.
I also worked as a nanny on a part-time basis. I babysat for 6-year-old Federica on several occasions, ensuring her snacks, playtime, and company. The person I spent the most time with was 5-year-old Pía, whom I cared for for several months. We developed a routine of activities that included games, stories, walks, and moments of emotional support.
Being with children is something I truly enjoy. I like to listen to them, create safe and fun spaces, and accompany them with respect, empathy, and affection. I consider myself a responsible, empathetic, and committed person. I am very close and affectionate with children, but I also know how to set boundaries respectfully and clearly when necessary. I adapt easily to changes, enjoy learning new things, and greatly value honest communication.
I am organized, calm, and creative. I always seek to create a good environment around me and enjoy collaborating with others to make everything run as smoothly as possible.
Interests / Hobbies
I love traveling, learning about new cultures and ways of life. I love nature, walking outdoors, going to the beach, and discovering new places. I also enjoy reading, writing, and movies. I'm very interested in everything related to personal and emotional development, and I enjoy spending quality time with the people I love. I also enjoy music, languages, and creating fun activities, especially with children.
Plans after the Au Pair & Nanny Experience
After completing this experience, I would like to continue traveling or settle for a while in a country that inspires me, continue my training, and perhaps return to working with children, either as a teacher or in another educational or creative role. I see this stage as an Au Pair as a very valuable process of personal growth, which will help me understand myself better, gain new skills, and open new doors for the future.
