Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

I'm an
Individual
Hello! My name is Blake and I am a very outgoing, caring, enthusiastic person. I am part of the 2SLGBTQ community. I am a Humber College student pursuing a degree in Digital Media Communication. I am currently taking a semester off to focus on my personal needs and make some extra money before planning to return to my studies in Fall 2022. My hobbies include being active through urban exploration (walking around downtown Toronto or exploring city parks), photography of all kinds (mostly live event and street photography), listening to music, attending free events/seminars/workshops, and using my creative skills through art journaling/collage making/creating digital art. I have been looking after and helping families in Toronto for over 6 years with ages ranging from toddlers (2-3) to teenagers (11-16) as well as offering support to families with children who have mental health needs (up to age 20). I have lived experience supporting folks with mental & physical disabilities. Can offer support taking medications, daily walks, grocery shopping, cooking & preparing meals, getting to/from in-person appointments, trouble-shooting wifi/camera/mic issues for virtual appointments, light housework (including: vacuuming, dusting, changing bed sheets, laundry, washing dishes, tidying up, etc.), etc. I completed a 15-week Life Skills program in 2018 and now pertain entry-level skills for the kitchen. I have taken courses for babysitting, leadership, Food Handling, Smart Serve, first aid and CPR training. I enjoy being active and going outside on walks around the city, as well as staying home and playing games or getting creative. After attending summer camp for all of my youth, I have worked as a day camp counsellor for a private day camp in Toronto, working with children between the ages of 6-8 and during the winter I used to teach snowboarding to individuals/groups of any age. During the summer, I have also worked part-time as a house league soccer referee in Midtown Toronto during evenings/weekend mornings; specifically with the age category for 6-12yrs (this has been on hold due to the COVID19 pandemic). I take the COVID-19 pandemic very seriously. I practice personal safety techniques to ensure that I do not contract the virus and if I come in contact with a possible case, I am quick to isolate until I can know for sure. I have access to the at-home Rapid Tests and do administer them when this happens. I am fortunate enough to have my own space with a private bathroom so that I can truly isolate if necessary. I wear KN95 masks whenever I am out or around folks that are not part of my bubble. I do my best to keep 6 ft. distance from folks when in public spaces and take extra precautions when riding elevators or the TTC. Feel free to message me with any questions, I hope to hear back from you!

Recommendations

Mike L

Blaire is a responsible, caring, knowledgeable and honest individual who I had the pleasure of working with this summer at The Crestwood Valley day Camp. She is WONDERFUL with children and I have 100 percent confidence in her abilities. She supervised a 3 day out of camp trip to a residential camp in Halliburton, Ontario where her leadership skills were evident. She is trustworthy and shows great empathy towards children. She would be an asset to any institution lucky enough to have her. Please call me if you have any questions or concerns. Mike.

Blaire has been babysitting for my kids for 5 years and my kids adore her. She is fun and energetic but also good at discipline and ensuring they are behaving well. She has watched them during the day as well as in the evening including making them meals and putting them to bed. I would highly recommend Blaire!
