Hello Parents: As an Early Childhood Educator with a passion for life-long learning, I value educating children through fun activities such as; music, art, reading, and outside play. I have a diploma from the Nova Scotia College of Early Childhood Education and 25+ years of experience in child care, from raising my own children (now grown) to working in various schools, daycares and as a private Nanny. I have a quiet, fair and gentle style of caring for children and know the importance of being a good role model. I believe that all children learn in their own way, in their own time with guidance, encouragement and validation and of course lots of giggles and fun. I believe in the concept: Children learn through play! If you are searching for a qualified, compassionate care giver with a strong work ethic, I welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my experience and skills can benefit your family. My rate is $12-$13. per hour depending on responsibilities and # of children. Resume, Criminal Record Check and References are available upon request and all are up to date. Warm Regards Allison "There are two gifts we should give our children; one is roots and the other is wings" ~ Anonymous
