Creative, reliable and having always been interested in education, different teaching and pedagogical methods as well as in child psychology, I am committed to supporting children in developing their confidence, kindness, talents and happiness throughout my professional life.
I have worked in Nurseries in the baby and toddler room (3m-2 yo) and I have worked as a part-time and full time nanny to multiple families. I have had experience in a bilingual Montessori nursery as well as in summer camps as a counselor. With excellent communication skills and fluency in both French and English, I can relate to people of all ages and levels.
