Position :
Nanny
Children (students) information :
The 6yo girl attends a bilingual French-English school and is a bright, imaginative child who loves drawing, storytelling, music, and creative play.
Due to past changes in caregivers, the girl may initially be reserved and cautious with a new adult, requiring time to build trust. The ideal candidate will approach this with emotional maturity, patience, and consistency, without taking it personally, understanding that this is a natural phase on the path to forming a deep, secure bond.
