- As an au pair for two young children (6 months and 2.5 years), I developed skills in managing the distinct needs of a baby and a toddler. My responsibilities included providing nurturing infant care, such as feeding, diaper changes, and establishing a nap routine, while creating a safe and stimulating environment. For the toddler, I planned engaging activities to support their physical, cognitive, and social development, including playtime, reading, and outdoor exploration. I balanced both children’s schedules effectively, maintained a structured routine, and worked closely with the parents to ensure a supportive and positive environment for both kids.
