Since September 2025: I’ve been looking after a 10-year-old boy from Wales two weekends a month. It’s also a great opportunity for me to keep improving my English! We play volleyball, football and hide-and-seek together. He’s full of energy and it’s always a pleasure to spend time with him. Thanks to this experience, I’ve learned to be more attentive and caring, while making sure he follows the rules in a gentle but firm way.
July 2021 and July 2022: For two summers, I took care of four children (aged 10 months to 8 years) in the Périgord region, for one month each time. My day started around 7 am, caring for the youngest: changing his nappy and getting him ready for the day. After breakfast, I organised creative and fun activities: treasure hunts, costume shows, tennis, painting, singing or even visiting the local farm. The goal was always to keep everyone busy and happy until dinner!
September 2022: I gave maths support to a 10-year-old boy who had trouble focusing and enjoying the subject. I had to get creative and used flashcards and musical games to help him learn in a fun way. With a lot of patience and encouragement, he finally mastered his multiplication tables!
October 2020: I spent a week in Deauville helping two families, each with three children. In the evenings, friends of the parents also entrusted me with their children. I was in charge of fun group activities for about ten children aged 2 to 12, organising games like musical chairs and Disney-themed quizzes to entertain both the little ones and the older children.
Since September 2019: I’ve often had the chance to babysit for many of my neighbours and also my two little cousins. I’ve known some of these children since they were very young, which allowed me to build long-term bonds and adapt to their growing needs. Parents have appreciated my reliability, cheerful personality and energy.
I’m the second of four siblings (and the eldest daughter), so I started looking after my younger sisters from an early age. It taught me both respect and how to set boundaries when needed.
I love sport! I played tennis and handball for over 10 years, and I’m now part of my school’s volleyball team. Music is another passion of mine. I sang for 9 years in the Jeune Chœur d’Île-de-France, which gave me the opportunity to go on four month-long tours in the US and Greece. These trips also helped me improve my English.
I’m full of imagination and always have new ideas to keep children entertained and smiling!
