- William Hazlitt
Raised in Oxfordshire, England, I am considered kind-hearted, responsible, sporty and adventurous. Although based near Marbella in Spain, I am happy to work abroad in order to find a harmonious fit with the right family.
I am a qualified TEFL tutor, SEN facilitator and Lacrosse coach and have experience working as a Governess and Rota Nanny for HNW families in London, Spain, Dubai, Italy and Croatia.
I am an ardent supporter of gentle parenting and fervent about nurturing children’s English development, emotional development, independence and teaching children to read.
I believe that building a respectful, empathic relationship with children is the foundation of discipline.
I am open to learning about different pedagogy approaches and favour those which promote independence, compassion and respect for others and for nature.
I have extensive voluntary experience in managing and growing lacrosse clubs and am passionate about helping children find their sport.
In my former years, I supported young people with
Autism and ADHD where I received substantial training on speech and language therapy, behaviour and occupational therapy.
In my spare time, I love to play padel, do hatha yoga, listen to podcasts on parenting, neuroscience and health, have sporting adventures in nature, play the piano and learn Spanish.
"My two sons - in key stage two - were very fond of Amy and we would have loved for her to work for us long-term.
You could count on her to ensure all matters concerning the boys’ education were in good order, from online learning support, to homework, to English development, to school competitions.
You could literally ask Amy to do any task and she would get it done without fail."
