I have previously worked with children with autism, both as a nanny and in my work in an after-school. I also have completed training in Inclusion of Children with Additional Needs. I have experience dealing with blind and visually impaired children from my own social circle and have a basic knowledge of Braille.

I have some experience looking after babies aged 6 months and up from my time as a nanny in Paris, however the majority of my experience has been with toddlers and older. However I would be very open to working with babies.
