About Me
I have always been drawn to taking care of kids, as an auntie from a big family I have looked after my nieces and nephews whose families lived with our family when they first came to Canada. I was their caregiver as their parents were trying to get jobs and I fell in love with childcare. It made me feel special that I could have the responsibility in some small way of helping to shape the kind of people that they would become in life. My family upbringing was based upon values of honesty, fairness and treating people as you would want to be treated and I live that every day of my life. Seeing how kids respond to me and how much I love being with them, my friends and family have always urged me to pursue a career with children.
I like to get out into the community with the children to let them experience the many activities that are available from art drop-ins, to dance drop-ins, time in the parks, on transit, and shopping for the household's groceries. I am not an advocate of screen time for children preferring instead to engage with them on a personal basis.
I am punctual, detail oriented, and practical. My availability is very flexible. I can come to your help when you need it. My preference is a part time position Monday and Wednesdays available all day and on Tuesdays, Thursdays and fridays anytime after 6pm approx 15-20 hours per week with exceptions as life presents them.
I am very capable at providing several levels of assistance to your family. I can provide typical nanny services, caring for your child, taking them to activities, encouraging them to learn, and looking after all of their daily needs. If your family wants more, I cook for and feed children breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. I can also provide light housekeeping and pet care.
I have 2 years of experience with two previous families with two children each ranging in age from 9 months to 8 years of age.
I look forward to meeting you and your child(ren) as the first step towards a warm and caring relationship.
