Caring, smart and enthusiastic child-care taker
|
My name is Fenna and I am 24 years old. Currently I’m a part-time research assistant at the University of Melbourne as a part of my Masters in the Netherlands. I have studied Child and Adolescents Psychology at the University in Leiden and I will finish my second Masters of Developmental Psychology at the end of August. I am very interested in children and their development. I have a lot of experience with different children. Via Inzowijs a foundation for children with an intellectual disability I have guided a girl of 9 years old with Down Syndrome 3 days a week for the last 5 years. On these days I pick her up from school, I help her with homework, speech therapy and her social emotional development and skills. I have also been an au pair in Philadelphia for 1 year for one new-born baby, a 3-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy. Aside from my study I have also worked with children with severe autism and aggression problems. I am also regularly active as a babysitter with 4 other families as a babysitter.
