Lauren, tata a Winterthur

Hello everyone!

I’m Lauren (22) and currently studying english literature by distance. As I want to become a teacher, I’d love to use my free time working with children.

I’m French, having lived in Paris, in Normandy, in the south of France and for 7 years on the Reunion Island. I’ll move to Winterthur in September (so available from the 1st) with my boyfriend (swiss german). I speak French as mother tongue and also English which I use with my family living in the US, in my studies and in my relationship. I learned German as second language at school but due to a lack of practice I have lost most of it. I’m currently getting back into the language and I’m confident about my progress. I therefore can speak French and English with your children, but I don’t think I can yet interact in German in a relevant way with them, but it’ll come, that’s for sure!

I’ve got my driving license since 4 years and I also have a car so it’s entirely possible for me to pick up your children after school, to accompany them to their after-school activities, or simply organize excursions with them. As my mother works with children and has a Montessori diploma and as my sister is director of an alternative school on the Reunion Island, I’m aware of the child-friendly education methods. Additionally, I’m not a professional cook but I really appreciate practicing it!

Building a relationship with the children and the family is important for me, therefore I'm looking for a long-term employment. I already work for a family (8 months old baby) on every Thursday (full day) and I'm looking for another full day (about 10h) Wednesday (ideally) or Friday.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I’d be delighted to exchange with you by writing or having a phone/video call until we can meet in Switzerland.
