Nanny in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Hi, I am Kacey and I love working with kids. I started volunteering with my local Recreation program when I was thirteen, and continued to work there as a daycare worker, and program leader for the next 4 years. It was during this time that I decided working with children was something I really knew I wanted to do with my life. This job gave me the opportunity to attend many training seminars to further my knowledge of child development, and gave me first hand experience in working with all kinds of children. I also coached junior girls basketball all through my senior high years, and worked as a swimming instructor with children of all ages, from new born's to teenagers. I worked as a live in nanny for a busy military family with two school aged boys in Fredericton, New Brunswick, for a year and absolutely loved it!
