Nanny in Hamilton, Ontario

I'm an
Agency / Company
Dear Parent/Guardian, My name is Mbula and I am a bilingual Registered Early Childhood Educator with over 10 years of experience with children from infant to older school age in various settings. I have worked as a head teacher in daycares with infants and toddlers, as a lead supervisor in before and after school age programs and I have also worked with children with special needs. In one daycare, I worked with a toddler who had down syndrome. I especially enjoyed having him in my care because I learned some sign language to be able to communicate with him and I also worked with a multidisciplinary team to help him integrate into the classroom. It filled my heart with joy and pride to see the difference from when he first started to the end of the year when he was becoming more verbal and was beginning to show independence skills. I have always had a passion for children for as long as I can remember, and my vision has always been to be involved with the youth in my community. Eventually, I hope to partner with a strong organization and work on projects that bring positive change to impoverished communities and families in developing countries. My hobbies include reading, writing short stories, writing music, singing karaoke, improv theatre and voice acting. I am fluent in French and English and I also have a great sense of humor which goes a long way when working with youth and children. I also enjoy reading to children and I am passionate about helping them develop important literacy skills. My biggest inspiration is Jo Frost who is famous for being on the TV show 'Supernanny'. I look up to her because she is very creative about her approaches in behavior guidance and she carries out her action plans by keeping in mind that each child is different, and therefore will need different methods of guidance. But best of all she knows how to foster effective conversations that includes input from the whole family before making any changes. I also like that she also reaches out to other experts in the community such as a clinical expert on autism for a family that had an autistic child. I once heard this quote in the musical the King and I (by Rogers and Hammerstein) “It’s a very ancient saying, but a true and honest thought, that if you become a teacher, by your pupil’s you’ll be taught!” This quote truly sums up my teaching philosophy and I also follow the play to learn the model which explores the idea that we learn best through play. My fellow co-workers, managers, and previous clients will say that I am patient, honest, down to earth, respectful, consistent, loyal and a great communicator. They will also tell you that their children naturally gravitate to me and truly enjoy their time with me. With that being said, I hope that your decision will be easier to make once you get a sense that your children are comfortable with me. As such, I am willing to do a few trial days prior to starting full time so I can spend time with you as well as your child(ren) and build a trusting relationship. In this manner, we will ensure that your parenting style is respected and upheld while they are in my care. I promise to bring the aforementioned valuable traits to you and your family and hope that in return you will show me the same respect. I am currently available during the week but I am open to working weekends as well. If your family is looking for a breath of fresh air to add to your family then I'm your gal! I hope to join you and your family in whichever chapter of life you are in and help you in the best way I can. I look forward to meeting you! With all my love, Mbula E
