About Me

I am a responsible, caring, and dedicated professional with a strong passion for working with children. I have extensive experience in childcare and education, having worked as a primary school teacher for four years and as a leisure and free-time monitor supporting children and adults with autism. Additionally, I have several years of experience caring for children and babies, ensuring their safety, well-being, and development in a nurturing environment.

Beyond childcare, I have also provided private English and Spanish lessons to children of different ages, helping them develop language skills through interactive and engaging methods. My background in education has equipped me with the ability to create structured yet flexible learning experiences tailored to each child’s needs.

I am patient, attentive, and highly adaptable, always ensuring that children's emotional and physical well-being are prioritized. Being fluent in both Spanish and English allows me to introduce children to a second language in a natural and interactive way if desired.

I would love the opportunity to provide a caring and stimulating environment for children in Edinburgh. I am available for an interview at your convenience and look forward to discussing how I can contribute to your family.
