My Summary

My Experience

I’m currently in my second year of Education Studies at Oxford Brookes University, working towards becoming a primary school teacher. Before moving to the UK, I studied psychology for three years at university in the US, including courses in lifespan development and early childhood education.

I’ve cared for children in several settings. I was a nanny for three years for children aged three to six, taking them to extracurricular activities, tutoring them, cooking dinner, helping with bedtime and tidying up afterwards. I’ve also babysat for other families and taught educational workshops for teenagers through Amigos de las Américas. In my own family, I played a significant role in raising my younger brother, helping him with school and teaching him everything from riding a bike to practical skills such as grocery shopping and opening a bank account. Most recently I completed my placement at Oxford University Balliol Nursery.

I adore children and would love to find a family I can really connect with. My hope is to be a consistent, positive presence in a child’s life: someone they feel comfortable with, can learn alongside and can rely on as they grow.
