I am 36 years old, and I have built my career around working with children, sport and outdoor activities. After finishing secondary school, I trained in sport and recreation, completing a technical qualification in recreation and leisure, followed by a diploma in kayak instruction. I am currently training to become a mid-mountain leader.

I have extensive experience with children of all ages. While studying, I worked as a babysitter, and I have since worked at summer camps and as a children’s entertainment coordinator in hotels during the winter. In France, I have worked in community centres as a children’s activity leader, mainly with children aged 3 to 7, and also with children aged 8 to 17. I have also regularly worked in the nursery, caring for little ones aged 10 months to 3 years. In the summer, I teach kayaking with clubs and tourism companies.

I am a responsible, patient person who is always keen to learn and improve. My approach is built on communication and empathy, so I can understand what each child needs at any moment. As a sports instructor, safety is always my top priority, and I hold a first aid certificate, renewed through every program I have completed.

I love being creative with children. My passion for circus and theatre has given me lots of ideas for sparking children’s imaginations through fun games and activities, and I also really enjoy arts and crafts. A very active individual who loves the outdoors, so I am always happy to get children out exploring.
I love traveling and learning languages. As well as my native Spanish, I speak English, French, Italian and Portuguese.

“Alba planned and led a wide range of creative, cultural and outdoor activities for the children in her care, including hiking, cycling trips, cross-country skiing and orienteering. She always put the children’s safety first and followed childcare and youth activity guidelines carefully.

Alba built warm, trusting relationships with the children, their families and the rest of the team. She is punctual, energetic and proactive, and was a real driving force within our team. The children loved spending time with her, and I highly recommend her.”
