Bio
Jambo! I'm Amani from Kenya. I'm gentle and dependable, and I'm passionate about early education: how children learn to speak, count, share and ask questions about everything. I enjoy explaining things simply and patiently, as many times as needed.
I like songs, stories and games that teach something without feeling like a lesson. I'm also practical: I help around the house, I cook basic meals and I'm used to taking responsibility for younger children in a family setting. I have a driving licence.
I'd like to spend three to six months abroad, improve my English and experience life with a host family. I speak Swahili and English, and I'd be happy to teach children some Swahili words and songs.
Childcare experience
I have three years of experience caring for children aged 2 to 8, mainly in family settings and at a community childcare group. My duties included supervising play, preparing meals, helping with homework and reading bedtime stories.
I also helped with a weekend reading programme at a local school, where I read aloud and led simple games with groups of younger children. I'm calm and consistent, which children respond well to.
Health, allergies, special diets or other information
I'm in good health, a non-smoker, and I have no allergies. I hold a driving licence.
