Hi !
My name is Jessica and I'm 35 yrs old. I'm available to find a position as a full time Nanny on a rotation basis, in France or internationally.
I was born in France, from an American mother and a French father. I was raised in a bicultural environment and I'd travel frequently between the United States and France (French ID & American passport).
I studied languages and literature at University, and later taught in an International bilingual school near Paris, for 3 years. Teaching in nursery class was a very rewarding and constructive experience, working with children aged 2 to 4 years old. Thanks to my previous responsibilities as a teaching assistant, I had the chance to plan the periods as learning units based on themes, with a play-based approach to develop personal, social and emotional growth of children. I managed to have a flexible approach to catch the children's attention and adjust to each of their level of understanding. I learnt how to focus on children individually, guiding them towards developing their own skills with personalized learning goals.
After having lived the most instructive years of my professional journey, I started offering my services as an English and French mother-tongue nanny, independently. I had the chance to meet several wonderful people and children with a wide age-range (newborn to 17 yr-old). The intimate environment and the trust between my employers and me, allowed me to use my teaching knowledge to offer the best. I had possibilities to take initiatives organizing activities and setting the frame for children's cultural, educational, personal and academic growth. My role allowed me to be creative and resourceful, organized and flexible, patient and caring. Interacting respectfully and effectively with parents and other household staff members was very enriching too. I've always been aware that, as a nanny, my responsibility is the wellbeing of the children and that my mission is also to guide, support and encourage self development such as independence, sociability, curiosity and self confidence.
These years were very constructive. I like to take initiatives when it comes to arts & crafts, and I am keen on music/ singing moments, story times, outside explorations and physical activities. I also improved my organization and communication skills over the years. My passion for children and generosity have always nourished my work alongside families.
I am a committed and trustworthy person, friendly and happy to take the best out of small things.
Taking part into children's personal fulfillment is my greatest satisfaction and I know how to be discreet, helpful, respectful and communicative.
I have a love for music (saxophone), and animals too. I enjoy travelling, and building human relationships. Sports and reading are daily interests.
I have a great positive energy and I believe I can get a chance to explore wider and richer opportunities abroad or within France, to start a new adventure with another unique family.
Feel free to get in touch for further discussion.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
J.
