About me!
* I'm Sandra
* Portuguese
* 32-year-old
* In Poland for nearly 5 years.
* I have worked with children for most of my adult life. Both with school aged kids and younger, down to 1 year old.

• For about 6 years, in my late teens, I gave catechism sessions in my local parish. We guided the same group since they were 6 y.o.. That was my first experience with young children. It was a learning curve, of course. I was transitioning into adulthood myself - lots and lots of trial and error :D
.
• While studying pharmacy in university, I volunteered on a project which engaged young teenagers, from public schools, in civic and sexual education, through several interactive/non-formal in person sessions.
.
• During that period, I was able to start working with study-tutoring centres in Lisbon, where I had the chance to not only tutor and teach children of several ages, but to develop myself as a educator and carer. I tutored children and teenagers one-on-one and in small classroom settings. Through this, I worked in collaboration with experienced teachers and educators (some of them were parents themselves). That period allowed me to develop a significant awareness on how to better search for a child's potential, how to understand some of their general needs, and how to set boundaries as much as how to offer flexibility, playfulness and understanding. I worked as a tutor/educator in 3 study centres, for about 6 years. I worked hundreds of hours of on-on-one sessions, and small classroom settings. In the later, we carefully personalized the support given to each child/teenager, while being able to maintain a prosper environment for studying.
.
• Once I moved to Poland, I volunteered regularly as an educator with English, in a Forest kindergarten. I worked with 2-7 year-olds, and learned more about non-formal education influenced by the Montessori method.
.
• Later on, I worked 2 years full-time as a Forest-Montessori kindergarten educator with English, for polish children 3-6 y.o., and as occasional support in the nursery, with 1,5-3 y.o.. There, I began bridging the gap between their little worlds, and the English speaking world, as well as the world of foreign languages and cultures altogether.
.
• Collaborating with experienced educators as well as young ones, full of new ideas, has contributed deeply to my knowledge and skills as an educator :) It also grew my motivation to guide any child I work with, to play and grow with curiosity and age-appropriate independence, with progressive emotional awareness, and excitment for learning.
.
• In the last two years I have been nannying, privately, a few lovely kids, 1-5 y.o., from different families, teaching them English through lots of play and discussion together!
.

• I speak native Portuguese, fluent English (CPE), B2 Spanish, and I invest on developing my Polish (currently I Speak A2/basic B1, I'm comfortable with general short conversations, and I understand much more than I speak).
.
• My hobbies have included sports and a lot of music. I was in an amateur choir for several years, which I loved. I have above basic vocal and music theory knowledge. I also enjoy dancing Lindy Hop, playing badminton, playing boardgames, reading, and going for walks. These are some of the influences I can share with the children I nanny.
.
.
What am I looking for? :)
* Ideally, opportunities to nanny full-time (mon-fri) children/young teenagers
* Open to late afternoons and evenings as well.

Do get in touch if you're interested or have questions!
