  • About Me

    Kids are one of my passions. When I was a kid, I was always the one entertaining and playing with all the kids in every family/friends event we used to have. When I was 18, I had my first experience being really responsible of kids when I got my leisure camp supervisor title and I went for a summer camp being a supervisor. I loved it so much, I did it during 5 summers/christmas and easter holidays with children between 4 to 16 years old (not all of them together or at the same time of course).
    I studied an entrepreneurial and innovation degree at university and there I discovered another passion; travelling. When I finished my degree, in 2014, my boyfriend and I decided to save money to start an adventure in Australia, and so we did. In Australia, apart of other jobs, specially at the begining, I found a half Australian half Spanish family, and I worked for them as a live out full-time nanny for 9 months. They had a little girl aged 2, and a big boy aged 4. I love them! I spent 40h a week with them, we loved going to the park, spending time on the beach, doing hand crafts together... when their nanny came back to work (she was off as she was pregnant and needed time to be with her own baby and recover from giving birth) it was a very sad day for me, but then, I found another family with 4 kids aged 5 months, 1,5 years old, 3 years old and 5 years old. I looked after them for 4 months as a full time live out nanny and I loved them too. I was one more of the family, and I used to help the mom with having the kids ready to go out, feed them (even the 5 months old boy as he didn't have breast), play with them, go to the park or different activities, put them to sleep, play with them, do different handcrafts, bath them...etc.
    I also did some babysitting nights when parents wanted to have a night out.
    I have a really good relationship with both families and I could provide you references from them as we still facetime sometimes.
    I speak Spanish, Basque and English, I'm very enthusiastic, reliable, open-minded, and I love doing hand-crafts, going out, discovering new places or playing.
