Hi there! My name is Amanda, I'm a 23 year old female who is a recent university and college graduate I plan on using my degree to work in child psychology, something I have been passionate about for years. I've taken courses on child development, family relations, and multiple courses in early childhood education. I moved to Calgary two months ago for a part time nanny position but unfortunately, the family is unable to keep me on as a caregiver. I am looking for any full time or part time care positions in Calgary. I have a passion for working with children, and have worked at a live- in summer camp for the past four years. I've had experience being a cabin leader for the youngest girls (aged 5- 8), as well as experience with the older campers (aged 10 - 14). I've learned the importance of connecting to kids on their level, and developed an understanding of how to encourage participation, and redirect inappropriate behaviour. The past two summers I've become the Leader in Training director of our camp, and am responsible for the development of future counsellors. Over these four years, I've completed a vulnerable sector screening, and I've been certified in first aid and CPR level C. I also have a valid G level license. I have also had experience babysitting a toddler with Down syndrome. I am comfortable working with children with exceptionalities and believe in the family centered model of care. This means I work alongside the parents to develop an understanding of strategies that work for their child. A reward system that works for one child may not work for another, even if they have the same diagnosis. I have been very involved with my University throughout my academic career. I held multiple leadership positions on campus and am a well respected individual who is known for being a hard and dedicated worker. I have sat on multiple committees, and worked alongside respected academics in leadership and academic roles. I look forward to learning about your family and the unique needs you have!
