About me

I grew up in Kazakhstan, in a city called Taraz, where I lived until I was 17 years old. I moved to a different city for university after that.

My family is not very big, it's my parents, my older brother and I. However, me and my brother are the oldest among our cousins, who are 3-6 years younger than we are. I spent my childhood surrounded by cousins and spending a lot of time with them. Since they were younger, me and my brother were kind of like a role model to them. They would come to us when in difficult situations or to share some events from their lives. Those interactions taught me responsibility and gave me the idea of becoming a teacher.

As a child, I loved reading, especially after I discovered the city library that contained so many new stories. However, I also was very active, which led me to join the ballroom dance group, play volleyball at school, and be one of the first people to skateboard in my city.

Looking back, my diverse experiences have paved the way for my journey as a nanny. Growing up with my younger cousins has shown me how to naturally guide and nurture children. Being someone they trusted and looked up to, I realized the importance of emotional support in a child's growth, fueling my desire to teach.
