I’m currently an Au Pair caring for three children (ages 1, 5, and 8) about 20–25 hours per week, so I have plenty of time! I grew up with two siblings and helped raise my two little cousins, so I’ve been around children my whole life. I studied Human Sciences in high school, focusing on pedagogy, psychology, and education. Over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience in different settings: working in a kindergarten (ages 3–5), assisting children from immigrant families while their parents handled documents, supporting children in a foster home, and participating in an inclusive theatre project with people of all ages and abilities. I’d describe myself as sunny, warm, creative, and responsible. I naturally connect with kids, love making them laugh, encouraging curiosity, and creating safe, playful moments where they feel valued. Patience and empathy come easily, and I always aim to bring good energy into everything I do. I can cook, I’m organized and reliable, and happy to help with meals, homework, or light household tasks. I speak fluent English and am a native Italian speaker, so I can share some of my culture and language if you’d like.
