About Me

Hello! My name is Paloma, and I am a qualified teacher from Brazil with degrees in Education and Portuguese-English Languages. I am currently doing a postgraduate course at the University of Sunderland to become a teacher in the UK.

I have several years of experience working with children of different ages as a teacher, private tutor, nanny, babysitter, and au pair.

My Experience

I have worked as a Grade 5 and 4 teacher at a bilingual school, taught English to children in Brazil and Italy, and also worked as an au pair abroad. In Brazil, I also have experience working as a babysitter, caring for children in a safe, patient, and responsible way.

I enjoy creating fun and educational activities, including arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, games, and helping with homework. I believe children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and encouraged.

I am caring, organised, reliable, and patient. As someone moving to the UK to continue my studies, I am looking for a welcoming family where I can provide loving and dependable childcare while becoming part of everyday family life.

I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and support your children as they grow and learn.
