My Experience

Private Tutor (5 Years)
For five years, I provided private tutoring to school-aged children, supporting them in a variety of subjects and helping them develop effective study habits, confidence, and academic skills. I adapted lessons to each child's individual learning needs and worked closely with families to encourage educational progress.
Psychologist – Support for Children and Vulnerable Families
I worked as a psychologist with children from disadvantaged and vulnerable family backgrounds, including those affected by domestic violence. My role involved providing emotional support, promoting resilience and well-being, and collaborating with families and professionals to create a safe and supportive environment for children's development.
Babysitter and English-Speaking Childcare Provider
During my university years, I worked regularly as a babysitter, caring for a 4-year-old child almost every weekend. I provided a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment while communicating in English, supporting the child's language development through play, daily routines, and age-appropriate activities.
