Together with two other teachers, I was responsible for leading a group of infants and toddlers at a private bilingual school in Germany, where instruction was provided in both Portuguese and German. My responsibilities included planning and implementing age-appropriate educational activities, supporting the children’s daily care needs, including diapering and feeding, and supervising walks, outdoor activities, and rest periods.

At this school, I worked as a third-grade elementary school teacher, performing responsibilities similar to those I held at Colégio Lyon, including classroom leadership, lesson planning, student development, and participation in school activities. My time at the school was relatively brief due to an opportunity for my husband and me to relocate to Germany.

At this school, I began as an intern while completing my university studies and was later promoted to lead teacher of a first-grade elementary school class.

Skills

From an early age
I discovered my passion for working with children. This calling led me to become a piano teacher and later pursue a degree in Education (Pedagogy). I began my career as an intern and
through dedication and professional growth
progressed to the role of lead classroom teacher.
I had the opportunity to work as a teacher in both Brazil and Germany before choosing to dedicate myself fully to raising my son during his early years. Throughout this time
I remained connected to education by continuing to teach piano to children.
I now feel ready and motivated to return to a school environment and begin a new chapter in my professional career. I am committed to continuing my professional development
strengthening my language skills
and staying current with educational practices and approaches.
I am a proactive
dedicated
and highly collaborative person who truly values teamwork. My professional experience
combined with the personal growth I have gained through motherhood
has given me an even deeper understanding of children
their individual needs
and the importance of providing a supportive and nurturing learning environment.
Education has always been my passion
and I am excited to return to the classroom and continue doing what is most meaningful to me: supporting
teaching
and guiding children throughout their educational journey.
