Ikram M.

I come from France and I arrived in Vienna, Austria about a month ago. I am doing an Erasmus program for 4–5 months. I speak a little English and I am currently learning German.

I have a lot of experience in babysitting and I have been doing it since I was 17 years old. I also work as an activity leader in schools in France.

I believe it is also a great experience for me to do this kind of job in another country. It allows for a mutual exchange with the child, especially in terms of culture and languages.

I am a very understanding and patient person. Through my experience, I have learned to listen to children’s needs and to offer activities that suit them. I have also learned that authority is not always the best solution, but that understanding and communication with the child are much more important.

I am also studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. I have been passionate about art since childhood and have always loved creative activities. I enjoy crafting and making fun, handmade objects.
