2022-2023: I taught swimming in Montréal with the charity Swimming With A Mission, working with children aged 4 to 10 with disabilities, both one-on-one and in small groups. I adapted my activities and explanations to each child with patience, attention and creativity.
During secondary school: I worked as a babysitter for bilingual families, playing with the children and keeping them company during their free time.
Summers 2020 to 2024: I worked as a versatile receptionist at Camping Lou Puntaou ****, in Léon, welcoming guests at a demanding establishment and handling a variety of tasks each summer.
During my studies at McGill (2022-2025): I served as VP External of the Liberal Arts Students’ Association, where I organised and promoted community and charity events. I also supervised theatre productions with the Faculty Theatre Society. There, I developed my organisational skills, leadership and sense of responsibility.

I am fluent in four languages (French, English, Spanish and Catalan) and can play with children in any of them. I am passionate about theatre, drawing (graphics tablet, watercolour, Indian ink), swimming (practised since 2010), comics and cinema, and I love sharing these creative worlds with young children through games, crafts, homework help or foreign-language practice. I am also skilled with creative tools (Procreate, Twine for interactive stories, GB Studio for video games) that allow me to invent original activities. Patient, responsible, flexible and open-minded, I adapt easily to each family. As a student in creative industries management in Paris, I can also accompany children to the capital’s cultural venues.
