Due to my parents profession as Teachers and Management we moved around quite frequently and as a result I was educated in several places. I attended the majority of my Secondary Schooling at Al Ain English Speaking School, Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. for year 7-11 (1st year - 4th year) and did the IGCSE'S International Cambridge Exams(equivalent of Junior Cert) where I received an A* in History, A* in Biology, and A* in English Literature and an A in Chemistry, French and Geography, then I received a B in Music and English Literature and a C in Honors Maths. Then we moved to Bucharest, Romania where I completed Secondary School for 5th and 6th year (sixth form) to do AS and A levels - Cambridge (the equivalent of Leaving Cert) A in History, B in English Literature and a C in Biology and Chemistry. I have nearly twenty cousins and most of them are much younger so I always used to babysit long term and quite frequently, whilst also babysitting in my neighborhood and for parents friends kids or just by posting babysitting ads on Facebook and in the local news board. Additionally I worked as a primary school teaching assistant in Keighley Merlin Top School, North Yorkshire, England for 4th/5th and 6th class in regards to Reading and Writing Comprehension and some Mathematics Lessons too, then I also was involved in a lot of counselling for the students to talk through any home or school issues they may be having and help them work through those. I love working with children because they have not been molded or have not allowed anybody else's experience and particular set of beliefs to be imposed on them yet, they have no labels or boxes in which they place themselves into and as a result they are extremely open minded and open to learning new things and new skills, they do not discriminate and they each have their own very unique personalities that do not conform to any ideal, they also express themselves very uniquely and authentically which can always be quite comical and honest. Something personal about me would be that I'm very easy going and warm and I think the most important part is I'm very easy to approach and talk to which is crucial for dealing with children because they have to be able to trust you and fee comfortable around you in order to establish and proper relationship and so everything feels safe.
