Hi there! My name's Misha, I'm 28 years old and I'm looking for a warm, fun-loving family to assist with their childcare needs. I started working with children when I was 18 years old, first as a swimming teacher for 2 years, then began my time as an educator/program manager at before and after school care in 2019. In 2023, I decided to participate in the au pair program in the US, where I spent 18 months taking care of 2 active boys aged 5 and 7. These roles have allowed me to develop a wide range of skills, including effective communication, child safety, activity planning, and adapting to the needs of different age groups. Additionally, they have given me the opportunity to enhance my problem-solving abilities, multitasking skills, and adaptability, ensuring I meet both the physical and emotional needs of the children under my care. I strive to be a reliable and positive influence in the lives of the children I care for, always fostering trust, kindness, and respect. I am flexible with my hours, dependable, and committed to creating a routine that works best for a family’s needs. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my skills and experience align with your family’s needs.
