Marina P.

I am a responsible, communicative, and empathetic person with a few years of experience working with children of different ages. I am currently studying software engineering, while at the same time developing my passion for working with children through educational, creative, and sports activities. Through working in an international environment and volunteering, I have developed patience, adaptability, and the ability to quickly handle different situations. It is especially important to me to create a safe, stimulating, and joyful environment where children can grow and express themselves.

**Experience Working with Children**
I started working with children as a teenager through children’s and sports camps (STEP and other educational camps by the sea and in the mountains), where I gained my first skills in childcare and activity organization. Later, I worked as an animator, where I interacted with children of different ages and needs, which helped me develop an individual approach to each child.

I have experience in:

* childcare and daily care
* organizing creative and educational workshops (art, science, cooking)
* helping with studying and providing tutoring
* leading group activities and encouraging teamwork
* working in an international environment with children from different cultures

I also worked as an au pair in Italy, where I was involved in the daily life of a family and actively participated in the upbringing and development of children.
