Hi! I'm Rhona, I am currently on my gap year and am looking for an opportunity to look after children in Verbier whilst I am there. I have previous experience working with children; ranging from baby sitting, sport coaching to being a full-time kindergarten teacher. I have also worked as a tutor for GCSE and IB standard students: Maths, English Language, English Literature, History, PE, Mandarin, Philosophy, Psychology and Spanish. I love children and am a very outgoing person so would be happy to lead and participate in various activities. I am very patient, enthusiastic and adaptable to any family environment. I get great satisfaction seeing the children learn and having a good time. Hopefully you will consider me to be an appropriate fit for your family. Thanks and look forward to hearing from you, Rhona

• Rhona looked after our two kiddies wonderfully, my oldest cried when she left on Friday afternoon. She kept them entertained and well looked after. Played with them in the snow, fed them well and made sure the little one had naps on time. Rhona has a lovely gentle, firm nature with lots of patience. I have no hesitation recommending Rhona to prospective parents. Kara - February 2016
• Rhona is wonderful with children, she had a nanny growing up but also has a playful character which is so great. She can make arts and crafts, still colours in. She is gorgeous on the inside and outside and clever with 36 on IB. She speaks reads and writes Mandarin Chinese and has travelled extensively for holidays with her parents so she is a very global citizen. Whatever the nationality of family they will be able to trust their children with her. How do I know it, she is a foster parent of puppies that require bottle feeding and is up day and night feeding them and she;s there and doesnt ever let them down, so proud of how responsible she is.Thank you!
• I am happy to write a reference for Rhona. I was uncertain as to whether I needed an account in order to submit, so I will just put my comments in this email: I was Rhona's Head of House at Island School and she was a delightful member of the House. Rhona has a very calm and patient manner and interacted frequently with the younger students as well as her peers. Once such role was House Charity Rep. She organised the entire House Charity week which required her to be liaising with every year group and organising the week’s program of events; enabling us to raise huge amount of money for Katja House orphanage in Nepal. I was so impressed with her organisation skills and how she kept a level head. The younger students really liked her and responded to her which is testament to her giving nature. I would happily recommend her to work with young children. I hope this is helpful. Feel free to contact me at Island School on +852 2524 7135
• Rhona was an absolute angel, she looked after our one year old incredibly well - she was kind, gentle, caring and played lots of fun games with her. She also cooked, fed, bathed, dressed, and did anything and everything really. She was also very polite, turned up early each time, stayed late sometimes, and was very flexible and accommodating. She really made a huge difference to our holiday and we are all extremely grateful. Thank you for introducing us to her! Ginny - February 2016
