About Roxane
Roxane is coming back for another winter season! She was a big hit with the children last year and can't wait to return to Samoens for a second season. Roxane is an artist so loves getting the children involved in arts, crafts, singing and story telling. Roxane brings to us the added benefit of being trilingual with her native French but is also fluent in Spanish and English. While she has worked with all ages, as a certified art teacher she generally specialises with older children.
"Hello, I’m Roxane! I come from Paris and I’ve worked as a nanny in the ski resorts for the past 4 years. Ten years ago, I got the diploma called BAFA in France that trains you to look after children for day-care or summer camps holidays, then I started to work in an entertainment center in the nursery and primary schools of Paris. I loved it because it was a very difficult and poor district and I felt so useful in those children’s lives. It was a real mission to make them have the best holiday without being able to move away from town... In the mean time, I graduated as an art teacher for secondary and high-school, and because I’m an artist myself, I love to animate, get creative, and enjoy artistic and crafty times. Thanks to my long working experience as a child-leader, I can keep them entertained with a lot of activities and games, songs or storytelling. I have a fertile imagination and I always find a way to have fun. Moreover, I take my job very seriously because I think either emotional or physical security comes first. I am Paediatric First Aid certified. I really want the children to be happy and to feel safe with me.
My hobbies are painting, playing music and dancing, I like to play the guitar, bass guitar or harmonica, and I like to sing, from time to time. I do all kind of sport and like being out in nature. I love to hike through the wildest areas like, Norway, Scotland or Canada. I’m a horse-rider since ever and the link with this animal is very strong. It’s my favourite subject when it comes to painting... I’m a globe-trotter, I travel a lot and this increased my flexibility and my nerve. I never panic in stressful situations and I’m open to all possibilities. Of course, one of my favourite hobby is snowboarding! I have a strong admiration for Nature and it is one of my aims to relay this respect to the youngest...

Feedback
Roxanne was amazing for our 22 month old , she was so much fun and focused so much attention on doing stuff together that E didn’t want her to leave! Naturally I was worried how the morning goodbyes would be with E being so young but she would wave me off and grab Roxane’s hand to go and play. I can’t thank Roxane enough as our holiday was made so much more relaxed . The process was smooth start to finish with Sun and Snow Childcare. We would definitely use again. Thanks
Just wanted to let you know that Roxanne has been super - v impressed. The boys have had a lovely week with her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone! Roxane Rocks!
Thanks again - Knowing Roxane was looking after A gave us great peace of mind while we skied!
She is efficient, punctual, responsible, and she knew how to respond to our different expectations.
Roxane is creative, dynamic, she knows to adjust herself to the rhythm of the age group she takes care of. She demonstrates initiative and put into effect security rules necessary. In her attempt to do a good job, she pays a close attention to the children needs.
Emily and Roxanne - What a team!! Our group has just returned from a week in Samoëns and our children most importantly loved every minute! The kids hit it of with both Emily and Roxanne from Day 1 and we’re very disappointed when they had to say good bye at the end of the week. They were both very professional, reliable and caring all week. Will definitely use again in the future!! Thank you 🙏
Thank you again for looking after E. We had such a great holiday!! We hope to return next year.
