Angelica, baby-sitter - 8053 Zürich

Dear Family,

Thank you for showing interest in my profile. I would appreciate if you could take your time to go through the questionnaire for more details of who I am, what I can offer your family and what I am looking for.

1. Why do I want to work as nanny?
I’ve worked with highly social children in the past and have enjoyed babysitting for international families. I built up a loyal group of regular families in Zurich and absolutely love spending time with children. I find it rewarding how a child recognizes your efforts with positive responses and appreciation. Learning and exploring the world through the eyes of a child is truly the best.

2. How would you benefit by hiring me?
Other than formal qualifications, I utilise the time by creating a fun, imaginative, productive and educational environment. As a full time nanny, it required me to prepare meals, reading sessions, organize in/outdoor activities, childrens laundry, tidying up. I am calm, open-minded, creative, energetic and do my best to make any child happy and loved by giving full attention and commitment. I am flexible, positive and willing to commit for a long term. I would like to create a strong relationship and understand your needs which also allows better performance.

3. What makes me different?
With my calm nature, I feel confident working alongside employers to establish positive growth and development for their children, knowing that one day they will cycle their positive energy and kindness back out into the world. Children are the future, and I bring responsibility of shaping the next generation into upstanding individuals. My favorite part of being a nanny was the ability to be an integral part of a child's development. It is a big responsibility but also rewarding watching a child grow and progress.

4. What would you achieve by hiring me?
Your family would benefit a real person with an organized mindset and leadership. I bring honesty, clarity and treat people consistently well. I would add substantial value and the freedom to be in an environment of growth and provide needed resources.

5. How can I ensure safety for the children?
Safety consciousness is one of the most important things I take into consideration in any household. A childs safety is always a number one priority. Inside the home, I would ensure that all doors and windows including balcony door are locked, cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting, handwashing, safe set-up of outdoor environment, sunscreen in hot weather, toy and equipment safety. These are just a few of what I take into precaution and I go by the rule of staying aware, awake and connected. I would like to attend a First Aid course to increase my knowledge of childcare safety.

6. Who am I?
I relocated from Sweden in 2017, where I was born and raised and began a new journey in Zurich. I travelled back and forth from Sweden to Switzerland since 2012, due to my previous field of study in international hotel management at the Swiss Hotel Management School. I finished my studies in 2016 and decided that the next step would be to settle down in Switzerland. I utilise my time and energy in being productive by reading books, going to the gym, spending time outdoors in nature with my dog (I have a 3 year old male Cane Corso), attending yoga classes, hiking, meditating, travelling to the mountains, and cooking healthy food. I have been eating plant based food for four years and absolutely love it.
