My friend French aupair lives in Holland Park West and is looking after a beautiful 5y old girl who's fluent in french and English. We do play dates very often to help my other children to learn French and be able to speak French to another child. We usually go on adventures together and learn/improve their language skills whilst having fun, in the city by bus (museum, beach, or by car to library, parks, zoo etc..) or at home their place to play in the yard where there's chickens, mini shell pool outdoor mini house for the kids to play pretend or inside for science experiments , cooking, painting, singing and more. If no play date same would happen in your own house, I'd try to make it as fun and interesting as possible. My goals for long term families are: Having the kids able to do things alone (potty training, eating unassisted, putting shoes on, climbing, jumping running, writing, reading (French)) etc.. Having their self confidence and self esteem as high as possible, which means I watch my words when talking to them and analyse what need isn't met when they are having a hard time. I try to communicate with them with appropriate words for their age and help them deal with their little emotions and challenging moments in the kindest way possible. I have values and respect and try to pass it on to the children, parents are more than welcome to let me know how they want their children to be raised and I will then go with what they wish. (Screen time, sweets etc.. will always be discussed prior with parents. (Medication too, I have a nanny insurance and cannot give children medication without prior written notice from GP or parents). I teach children to read in French. I also teach the anatomy (brain, organs, blood composition etc..) and I try to cook simple recipes with the children when possible too. Usually there's always art & crafts, fine and gross motor skills activities involved with some music.
My experience in childcare :
- Au pair/nanny in Australia since August 2017 From newborns to 9years old kids. ++babysitting ( can provide references!)
- Experience working in daycares and many hours of babysitting (newborns - 13ys old)
- References (have current references from families in both France and Australia)
- French diploma in childcare - First aid certificate - Paid Bleu card WWCC - Car with 2 car seats - ABN - Nanny Insurance - Police check
I have : - Car so I can come to you ☺ - I am a mature, responsible and open minded person and I really LOVE children! - I don't smoke nor drink alcoholic beverages - I love pets
- I like to do activities to help the kids develop their independence and knowledge (manual activities,drawing painting, singing) outdoor activities (parks, museums, libraries, beaches and play dates) (age of the kid adapted to the activities).
Don't hesitate to send questions for further information, I would be very happy to answer!!

Sammy is funny and we are never bored with her, high in energy but also calm and gentle when needed. Lots of love and laughter everyday no matter what is going on, each day is a fun adventure !
What I love about this work
Being able to be present for parents and their children when they need it the most. Being part of each child's journey and seeing the wonderful growth in their knowledge & skills and their happiness.
Seeing parents getting a bit of their old life back and finding time to take care of themselves or focus on work while their kids are safe and happy with Sammy!
