I have a big family so I get to babysit quite often but have started getting paid for it March 2025. I always have a first aid kit and my motto is ' Have fun the safe way ' :) Kids love my entusiasm, as for parents, my honesty and reliability is reasuring. Because I am french and sudaneese and I travel quite often, I get to see different cultures, so this makes me perfect for newly arrived families. I love teaching, and for older kids, they can learn about the big and little things they can do to help their parents and communities, such as doing their chores and helping out as well as litter picking and charity events; ( which I have done several times, with parents agreeing that their child is more responsible and feels confident to do more to help)

My skills and interests:

  • Singing
  • Dance
  • Reading/storytelling
  • Drawing/painting
  • Arts/crafts
  • Nature
  • Gardening
  • Cooking
  • Writing
  • Foreign languages
