Ayla

Hi there I'm Ayla! I am 25 years old, originally from London though I grew up mostly in Chamonix allowing me to speak both english and french fluently. I recently graduated from the University of Westminster with a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing and have decided to return home to Chamonix for the winter. Having grown up in France with a Swedish mother and British father, my somewhat unusual childhood included being correspondence schooled, whilst going sailing every year with my family all over the Pacific for several months at a time. During the winter I was based in Chamonix where I became a competitive snowboarder. I soon joined Team GB which led to competing and training overseas, making me independent from a young age. These experiences have left me with a keen self-starter attitude, a lot of resilience and experience working with people from all over the world in multiple languages. Furthermore, I gained a great appreciation for working with children, teaching them new skills, inspiring them to follow their dreams and helping them develop in each of their interests. I have a great appreciation for the arts, having completed my foundation in acting at the Oxford School of Drama, followed by my degree. Nowadays you can find me practicing the electric guitar for hours daily, combining my love for music and writing. I am always finding fun activities to do with the children I look after, from sports to baking/cooking, painting, music and anything else we can come up with! I am a big advocate for keeping away from screens and getting busy with our hands. Do get in touch if you would like to know more about me and my childcare experience. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
