About Me
Hello,
I am a French postgrad student in London for a year abroad. I used to babysit my neighbours (Simon and Théo) when I was an undergrad. I was expected to look after the children while playing games with them, make them eat a 7 pm, and around 20:30 I usually went upstairs with them to read them stories. They particularly liked audio stories from France Culture (the French radio), which also made me fall asleep on the chair between their two beds (they were sleeping in the same room since they were very young - 4 and 6 years old). During Hollidays we usually replaced games by an animated film. When I moved to Paris for my masters, I provided private lessons. I followed 4 children, Hugo was 10-11 (I had him for 2 years), Juliette was 12, and the two others were 6 and 16 years old. I did it because I needed money, but I discovered that I really like teaching, that it was what I was called to do on earth, and I changed my careers plans (working in heritage and archives conservation) to become an English teacher (which was the other discipline of my masters : double masters degree in English and History).
My Experience
