Nanny in Kaslo, British Columbia

I'm an
Individual
For some reason kids pick up on how much I respect and really admire them. We have so much to learn from children! They see life in simple terms and I enjoy gleaning form their perspective and encouraging them to be themselves, feel confident and safe. I started at my local church working in nurseries and after college started working for North Shore Neighborhood House as a way to learn about non-profits and work with kids! I learned so much from working at Ridgeway Elementary school for 1 year in before and after school care! How to keep them engaged by setting up art activities and how to encourage emotional awareness and confidence as well as maintaining the center's overall atmosphere and safety (conducted all earthquake and fire drills). After a year there I went to Kiwassa Neighborhood House in East Vancouver and was the swimming, art, craft, sewing, games & sports teacher (different activity each day) and I loved that job! It was so much fun having so much variety and I really noticed a difference between the two schools (Templeton & Ridgeway) and how the kids were enjoying the programs and relating to each other. After my year at Kiwassa I went to school in New York for Fashion Design to develop my non-profit called Abel Wear that teaches sewing to people with barriers to employment so they can earn a flexible income, but returned to Norgate Community School (Vancouver) last fall to work with kids again, because I missed their carefree attitudes (in comparison with the fashion industry) and worked there until December when I was offered the supervisor role, but needed a break from the city! Kids inspire me to live fully and never give up and I try to do the same for them. Due to working at North Shore Neighborhood House again I was re certified in First Aid and CPI (Crises Prevention Intervention) training. I look forward to meeting you! All my best, Robyn!
