Expert Child & Pet Care with Pedagogical Background

Hello! I am a Brussels-based caregiver offering a unique combination of professional teaching experience and a lifelong devotion to animal welfare. My approach is rooted in honesty, patience, and a deep understanding of developmental needs. Childcare: An Educator’s Heart My experience with children is both personal and professional. It began within my own family, where I took an active role in raising my younger sibling and cousins. This natural bond led me to a professional career in teaching. I don't just 'watch' children; I engage them. Drawing from my background in education, I design activities focused on both physical and mental development. I am deeply inspired by the Montessori philosophy—fostering independence and curiosity. I speak to children at their level, ensuring they feel heard, respected, and stimulated through creative play rather than screen time. Pet Care: 20 Years of Dedicated Experience While my teaching career shaped my approach to children, my life has been defined by a 20-year journey with animals. This two-decade expertise allows me to handle all types of temperaments, from high-energy dogs to shy or senior pets needing specialized attention. I treat every animal as a family member, providing a safe, calm, and loving environment based on years of hands-on knowledge. The Multilingual Advantage Living in Brussels, I offer the benefit of multilingual communication: English & French: Upper-Intermediate/Advanced level. Dutch (Vlaams): B2 level—comfortable in Dutch-speaking environments. Turkish: Native. My Commitment I am a reliable and calm partner for busy families. My goal is to support your child’s growth and ensure your pet’s happiness while providing you with total peace of mind. I am available across Brussels and look forward to meeting your family!
