Ana

Hi, I'm Ana! Welcome to the mountains! :) I've worked here in the Tarantaise Valley for over 10 years and am lucky to have worked in all the local resorts. I'm a private nanny and English Language teacher with experience working in both the childcare and education industry. Back in the UK, I worked in management in the education industry for 5 years. I ran an Ofsted registered Maths and English tuition centre for children aged 4-16. I've also managed a few Summer International Language Schools, welcoming students aged 7-17 years old from all over the world. I loved my jobs... however, the mountains were calling and I moved back to the Alps where I married and found our dream mountain home here in the valley. :) I became a mum in 2021 and again in 2022 and have since balanced being at home with my own little ones and providing childcare for other families in the valley. I'm a keen skier, love to build snowmen and warm up inside with extra chocolatey hot chocolates! During the summer months I love biking and hiking, I really enjoy being outdoors and taking the kiddies on mountain adventures! I look forward to meeting you and showing your little ones the best spots in our corner of the mountains.

I have worked in the childcare and education industry for over 15 years and have been providing private nannying in the ski resorts since having my own children. Between 2010-2011, I worked and traveled with one family as a private nanny and tutor around the French Alps and Italian countryside, caring for three children aged 5-10. I have also worked as Head Nanny for a ski company in Morzine, supervising different children and infants each week, as well as supporting and managing other nannies. On my return to the UK, I then provided childcare including overnight supervision, for two different families. One family had two lovely girls, aged 10 and 7. This was a part live-in role as sole carer for the girls when the mother was working in London throughout the week. The other family I worked with had one girl aged 3, and one boy of 15 months and as sole carer throughout the day, it was my responsibility to carry our all nursery duties for the toddler and infant. Since then, I have worked teaching students aged 4+ in educational settings including a Tuition Centre and an International Language School. As well as being a qualified CELTA language teacher, I have managed several summer camps/schools providing an activity and leisure programme for children alongside English language lessons. I became a mum in 2021 and then again in 2022 and love mountain adventures with my own little ones. Since having my own children, I have provided childcare for families each week of the winter season, seeing in infants and children of all ages. I also provide a night nanny service with babies for those families wanting a solid night's sleep so they are fresh for skiing. I have both an English and French Police Check and am First Aid Trained.
