My Summary
About Me
As a dedicated nanny and tutor, I bring a unique blend of academic knowledge, passion for teaching, and genuine care for children's well-being. Originally from the USA, I recently relocated to London to embark on an exciting journey in childcare and education. With a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and a minor in archaeology, I have a diverse skill set that enriches my interactions with children.
My love for teaching and working with kids has been a driving force throughout my academic and professional endeavours. Currently, I serve as a supply Teaching Assistant in London, where I have the privilege of supporting students in their educational journey and fostering their intellectual curiosity. Whether assisting with classroom activities or providing one-on-one support, I take pride in creating engaging and supportive learning environments where children can thrive.
Beyond my role as a Teaching Assistant, I am deeply committed to furthering my education. With aspirations to pursue a master's degree and eventually a PhD, my ultimate goal is to become a professor, shaping young minds and contributing to academia. My experiences as a nanny and tutor allow me to cultivate invaluable communication, patience, and empathy skills, which are essential for nurturing the growth and development of children.
In my spare time, I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, surfing, and swimming. I also enjoy exploring the vibrant city of London, immersing myself in its history and cultural diversity. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experiences with others, and I am eager to continue making a positive impact in the lives of children through education and caregiving.
