- 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, organizing playdates, 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 children.

01.2023 - 12.2023
- As an au pair for a family with three children (ages 3 months, 4 years, and 7 years), I developed strong multitasking and organizational skills to meet each child’s unique needs. I managed infant care, including feeding, diapering, and nap routines, and engaged the toddler in interactive play to support their motor and language development. For the 7-year-old, I provided homework assistance, managed school routines, and facilitated extracurricular activities. I also handled cooking and meal prep for the children, maintained a clean and organized play and living space, and drove the children to school, appointments, and activities. This experience taught me how to balance varied responsibilities while fostering a positive, structured environment for each child’s growth.
