The experience gained while living abroad and working with children of different ages and from different backgrounds and cultures has prepared me to babysit. My education includes attending the international high school in Leysin, Switzerland, where I integrated with students from all over the world. These students helped me to better understand multiculturalism and this, in turn, instilled in me an interest in the different aspects of integration, communication, teaching, and helped me enormously to communicate and understand people, and subsequently helped me in my teaching methods over the course of the next few years. I think of that period as not just being part of my formal education, but as preparation for what I can teach others. During my time in Switzerland, I returned to the United States during my holidays where I worked at the Children’s Theatre. Another skill I developed was to become fluent in the French Read more language and, consequently, I decided to pursue my love for languages and move to Paris, France in order to continue my studies in Film and Theatre, as well as working on refining my knowledge of French. Upon completing my degree in Paris, I had the good fortune to move to London where I worked at Theatre Studio West as a drama teacher with students aged between seven and eighteen. My plan was to return to the United States after finishing my studies which I did last year. Currently, I work as an online English Teacher to children in China from 5 am to 10 am.
