Gemma, Au-Pair (Basel)

Hello! My name is Gemma, and I'm originally from the beautiful island of Menorca, Spain. I consider myself a responsible, friendly, patient, and creative person, someone who truly enjoys connecting with others, especially children. I'm currently based in Menorca after finishing my studies, and I’m ready to start a new adventure in Switzerland!

I’m a qualified early childhood educator and also hold a degree in Primary Education. Over the past 6 years, I’ve been closely involved in working with children; as a summer camp leader, basketball coach, and most recently, as the coordinator of a summer school. I've cared for children from as young as 7 months old to 6 years old, both in professional settings and personally.

I also have experience working with children with special needs, including those with severe developmental challenges, both in inclusive classrooms and during an Erasmus exchange program where I taught judo to children and adults with disabilities. Currently, I’m expanding my skills further by studying sign language and therapeutic pedagogy.

What makes me a unique caregiver is not only my training, but the passion I bring to this work. I believe children are pure souls who deserve an environment that nurtures their growth, curiosity, and joy. I love to educate through play, exploration, and connection with the world around them. For me, working with children is a beautiful and rewarding experience. I learn something new with them every day, and I always try to offer each child a small piece of my heart.

I’m open to full-time, part-time, or occasional childcare opportunities as I settle into life in Switzerland. I would love to get to know your family and see how we can best match schedules and needs. I’m also happy to help with child-related household tasks like preparing meals, bath time, assisting with homework, ...

I look forward to hearing from you!
