My Summary

Experienced Nanny & Psychologist

My Experience

I am a qualified and licensed psychologist (in Colombia) with a deep passion for emotional well-being and child development. My degree is officially recognised by the British Psychological Society (BPS Graduate Membership). This background allows me to support children not just with their practical daily routine, but also with their emotional growth, resilience, and confidence. I have international experience in childcare and youth accompaniment. Recently, in France, I was responsible for the daily after-school care of two young girls, safely managing their commutes, supervising their routines, and creating a secure, trusting environment, while helping develop their own personality. To enrich their experience, I designed active language and cultural exchange workshops (combining Spanish and French) tailored to support their overall psychological well-being. Additionally, I have extensive community experience organizing support groups and workshops focused on emotional management and mental health. I also have a specialisation in School & Child Inclusion, and Universal Design for Learning (DUA), which equips me with excellent strategies to support children with diverse learning needs as well as those who require a more inclusive approach.
