Markéta M.

Hi, my name is Markéta, I live in Prague, I have been married for 16 years and I am a mother of two boys, Samík (14), Matoušek (12) and, after a longer break, finally one more - František (5). The primary thing for me is and always has been taking care of the children and the well-being of the family, since I became a mother, but during motherhood I continued in my profession (photographer and writer), to which was added the care of renting our house in the mountains, or the fourth child :-), as my husband and I call this project. Matoušek and Samík are now independent units and even help me with the youngest František. As a result, I have more time for my work and for the second time I decided to offer my help and my experience with babysitting. The first time was when Sam and Matoušek started going to kindergarten. I was babysitting regularly in two families for two years (all boys - 10m, 2, 4, 6), and irregularly for about 3 years in three other families (girl 1 year old, boy 10 - tutoring Czech, boy 8). I like going to nature with children, I enjoy playing with them, building and drawing, and practicing for school (I am an expert in Czech). I really like speaking English (I lived in the States). I taught ceramics in English at the Prague branch of Park Lane, I also have a Playwisely training and a year of teaching the method at the branch in Prague 6 (the method uses various techniques to maximally support the development of knowledge and fine and gross motor skills, lessons also in English, for children from 4 months to 6 years old). I wrote a book for children that I present to them in the form of talks in schools and kindergartens organized with the aim of getting children to read and write. I really like animals, we have 3 cats and fish at home. I know very well that taking care of children does not always mean just playing with them, but also, for example, leading them to clean up their toys after themselves, or (for older children) fulfilling their other household duties. I feel very good with children and in their world, which is why I decided to register on the Hlídačky portal again. I am very reliable, I like direct dealings and I am flexible with my working hours, especially mornings or evenings. I look forward to hearing from you :-)
