I'm an
Individual
Dear potential families, It is fantastic to meet you! My name is Donald McCann, and I have a love for working with children. My personal belief is that through a loving and nurturing upbringing, using the medium of play will foster and promote the healthy development of the children in your care. My strategy for doing this is using positive reinforcement, coupled with song, dance, laughter, and most importantly, play. A while ago I was reading an article in the magazine, Psychology Today, and it highlighted the benefits of giving young children new experiences. Stating boldly that it was the best thing you could do for them, in regards to healthy (psychological) development. I very much adhere to the thoughts in that article. Whether it is playing with water, blowing bubbles, or simply going outside to feel the different textures of different kinds of leaves or flowers, giving new experiences to children is an invaluable part of their development. My experience of working with children and the knowledge of healthy development blossomed through my education, and from previous employment. I have completed just under two years of Child and Youth Studies at Mount Saint Vincent University, although I am currently on a hiatus to pay off some of those pesky student loans. As for previous employment, I have had the pleasure of working with some fantastic Preschools, most notably, Christopher Allan Preschool, and Atlantic Montessori Preschool. I also have seven years experience working for Halifax Recreation as a Summer Day Camp Leader. A position that on some weeks I worked one-on-one with children with special needs. To add to that list, I also worked as a Nanny last year taking care of a 14-month-old little boy. Throughout my time with Halifax Recreation (as with all of my childcare endeavors), I have learned the value of forming meaningful bonds, and how much a positive role model in a child's life benefits them over the long run. Now for a little segment about me. Anytime I have the opportunity to go outside and do an activity, I will try my very best to make it happen. Whether it's playing recreational softball or going to pick apples in the valley, I very much enjoy spending any time I can outdoors. I also like watching movies, comedies mostly. I like to laugh and I have an upbeat personality. I am very much a glass half full kind of person. I like to see the good sides of people and situations, the silver linings of things. Now that you have a little bit of a taste of who I am, I would like to extend the invitation to reach out to me if you think your family and I may be a good fit for each other. I very much look forward to being in contact with you, and to interview for the position. Sincerely, Donald McCann
