Berta, nanny in Newcastle upon tyne NE1

Since I was a teenager I liked to take care of the young ones. I have done babysitting in my country (Spain) since I am 19 and I really enjoied it. I have also got the degree in Primary Education and I am thinking to join the Early Years Education Degree too. I have babysitted kids from 2, 5 and 6 years old. I have also been a private tutor to a 16 years-old-boy.

I have worked in a School of English in Barcelona to kids from 1 to 9 years old.

I have worked in several summercamps from 3 to 5 years old, from 5 to 7 years old, from 6 to 12 years old and from 12 to 16 years old
I love working with children. I like the way they think and they see the world. I am also impressed of their pureness, energy and eagerness to discover the world. I think that is the reason why I like so much working with children and I can feel connected to that wonderful period of life even when I am not a kid anymore.

As I said, since I was very young I have been willing to work with children and to learn as much as I can about them so I do not see my future carrer as a mere job but as a lifelong experience. For this reason I have also done volunteer work.

In 2009 I joined a scout group of my town. I wanted to get to know the non formal education and gain experience with a group of children and also in planning, organizating and developing activities. I think it was really usefull for me because, as I have been told by my partners, I increased enormously my skills during the 4 years I was there.

I also love reading, I have always a book in my hands. Currently I am quite interested in Montessori methodology and I am looking for some bibliography that may be interesting.

I also like going to the cinema, running and going on excursions.
