I am living in Canada for over 17 years now and have become Canadian Citizen in spring. I have two occupations in which I loved working for many years. A Diploma as an Administrative Assistant and one in as a Child Development Supervisor Level III. I worked as a Child Development Supervisor for over 14 years. I am a mature and happy woman. I genuinely care for people of all ages. I enjoy doing all kinds of indoor and outdoor activities with children, encouraging their creativity, imagination and healthy development. I love to enter their little world and show them how they can learn, develop, respond and understand. Children of all ages are happy when you will give them your sincere attention and treat them as little people, take their message to heart and respond from the heart; help them to solve their problems by explaining and showing, offering alternative and/or redirecting. Teaching children while playing, having lots of laughter and fun; and lots of crafts and adventures during playtime. Supporting and loving them where they are and try to teach them a bit more what they already can do. I am very reliable, responsible kind, gentle, fun, creative, calm, patient, sensitive, caring, energetic, love to follow through when I set limits and boundaries. I have been working with infants, toddlers and teenagers; the child s safety is always my primary concern. When I came to Edmonton I took the Training for Caregivers at TLC. This full-time six-month training course prepares students for all aspects of the caregiver/nanny job, including First Aid and CPR. I am health-oriented, like eating good food, spending time with my friends and love being outdoors. I love good movies, going for hikes, doing Yoga and I like swimming. I also enjoy cooking. In my life I loved traveling. I spend time in India where I learned Yoga and Meditation. I like learning new things; I am flexible in all kinds of new situations. I am well organized and maintain a great time management and household organization. I love to offer my skills and abilities to the families I am working for. Thank you for reading my profile. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Warmly, Gabriele PS: Police Clearance and References are available.
