Currently from 2024 — Paris, Marseille & Baltimore : I currently care for the children of three international families, one whose mother’s is an artist working between exhibitions in Paris. The other living in-between Paris and Marseille. The third in Baltimore America when I go home in the winter every year. My role is to support the children during these stays, maintaining a calm and stable presence within a rhythm that can change depending on their schedule. We spend our time together in a very natural way: at home, through creative play, reading, simple outings, and everyday routines, always respecting their energy and individual needs.
2020 — Mexico & United States : I spent this period travelling and working with different families in both regular and occasional childcare roles. I looked after children aged roughly 3 to 10, structuring their days around play, outdoor activities, creative time, and gentle support with daily routines. This experience strengthened my ability to adapt quickly to new environments and to integrate seamlessly into different family dynamics with discretion and ease.
2019 — China : I taught English to young children during a summer programme. Lessons were based on play, songs, movement, and creative activities, which allowed me to develop a very intuitive and engaging teaching style. It was my first experience working in a fully different cultural context, and how to build connection across language barriers.
2018 – 2020 — Baltimore, United States : I worked regularly with several families, including one with three children. I became part of their daily routine including school pick-ups, meals, evenings, and general day-to-day support offering a consistent presence in the household. Since my teenage years, I have always been around children and began babysitting early on. These first experiences taught me, in a very natural way, the importance attentiveness, and adapting to each child’s personality.
