Dear Family Please let me introduce myself: I am a mature, patient, energetic and optimistic woman, originally from the Czech Republic. I genuinely care for other people and love working with children. I enjoy doing all kinds of indoor and outdoor activities with children, encouraging their creativity, imagination and healthy development. I am able to get down to their level, see the world through their eyes, to be silly and playful. At the same time, I gently but firmly set limits and boundaries and consistently enforce them. The child‘s safety is always my primary concern. Until the end of April I took care of an adorable two-year old boy. Having been his full-time nanny over the past year, I gained valuable experience with toddler development, daily routines and discipline. Before starting this employment, I took the Training for Live-in Caregivers at TLC Edmonton. This full-time six-month training course prepares students for all aspects of the caregiver/nanny job. As part of the school, I volunteered in a bilingual German-English preschool. During my college studies, I also took a year off and worked as an au-pair for a family with three children in Kiel, Germany. I really enjoyed this experience, especially taking care of the youngest girl, who was three years old at that time. I am very health-oriented, like being active and spending time outdoors on my bike or just walking, doing yoga and swimming. I also enjoy baking healthy treats and breads and cooking from scratch. I like learning new things; I am flexible and able to quickly adapt to new situations. My hope is to apply all my skills and abilities to make a difference in the life of a wonderful family. Thank you for reading my profile and I look forward to hearing from you!
