Elisa, garde d’enfant - SE1 London bridge

I am a student in London in my second year. London is the place i choose to live because I have a keen relationship with the arts since I am a painter, singer and performer.

When I was back in italy my main job aside from high school was to take care of my cousins that are 20 in total and in different ages. since we are a big family we are taught how to take care of each other and help the parents, aunties and cousins with children as well.

I am a full time student now, but I have four days off per week (monday, wednesday and the weekend) hence I am searching for some childcare during these days and nights.

As a performer i am really good at entertaining children with activities ( games and DIY) as well as bedtime stories and traditional songs that are my trick to put the kids to bed.

I have organised birthday parties since I was twelve and I have been teaching my cousins poetry to recite at christmas. I like to draw with kids because i think their imagination should be cultivated. Moreover I am really good in cooking, especially muffins, biscuits and cakes but also normal meals ( that must be healthy and tasty). Finally I am good at math, science, history and especially grammar and literature to which I own this quote

"There is within us a little child who not only has chills, as Cebes of Thebes – the first to discover his presence – thought, but tears and his own moments of joy.
When we are still young, he confuses his voice with ours, and of the two children who run and, in fun, wrestle and, together always, feel fear and hope, who exult and weep, one heartbeat alone can be heard, one cry, one whimper. But we grow older, and he remains young; new desires awaken in our eyes, and he holds on to his serene ancient wonder; our voices deepen and harden and yet he continues to ring out like a chime. A secret chime that we do not hear, perhaps, as distinctly in our youth as we do in our later years, because then we are so busy fighting and making a case for ourselves that we have little time to mind the corner of our soul from which it rings" by Giovanni Pascoli

I believe that only inspiring and fun Childcare does have a beneficial effect on children and the overall lifestyle of the family.

many thanks
