Henry has recently turned six and I have been looking after him and his younger brother, Hugo, who is now three and a half years old from the age of 10 months of age. I have been helping the Carroll family to care for and educate their boys and have shared many wonderful experiences with them throughout their early years.
As a teacher, I am particularly interested in building confidence in young children and in developing their language skills through conversation and role-playing exercises. I also endeavour to develop their fine-motor skills through creative play such as painting, model- making and playdoh.
I have a keen interest in French and Art and incorporate these skills in daily routines.
I have taken both Hugo and Henry to many activities, including park visits, French classes, music classes, Gymbaroo, Little Kicks, gymnastics, soccer, swimming and many concerts, proms and puppet shows.
I have enjoyed reading stories as a daily activity, played age-appropriate games, completed puzzles and constructed duplo and lego building activities with the boys.
Hugo started pre-school in 2020 and I left my role with the Carroll family in December 2019 after an enjoyable five years with them, prior to relocating to Leura in January 2020.
