Hello, I have made my career in childcare and have been a nanny for many families in Ottawa over the last twenty years, the last three of which have been in the Old Ottawa South/Glebe area. I am a loving, patient, fun and dependable person and am especially skilled and experienced in caring for children from newborn to school age. I am respectful of families' values and of each child's unique needs and schedule. I am particularly interested in pursuing an arrangement with a family with a young child/children, with whom I could remain for several years. A day of my care could include outdoor play time, free play, library visits, crafts, playgroups, et cetera. I am happy to prepare meals for the children and do light cleaning up after meals and activities. I have worked in many different areas around Ottawa, including the Glebe, Old Ottawa South and Westboro, to name a few. I do not drive so I prefer locations with good access to public transit. While I am not available until September (preferably), my current family supports my flexibility with a start date as early as the summer. I can provide many references regarding the quality of childcare that I provide, from both my current and previous employers.
