Nanny in Vancouver, British Columbia

As a reliable, calm, confident and organized individual with over 3 yrs of experience as a nanny in full-time and live-in capacities, I have the ability to become an integral part of your family. I have always loved children and find nothing more rewarding than caring for them. I have excellent communication and organizational skills, creating a positive, happy environment in which children can thrive. Since I have worked in this capacity for such a long time, I am highly skilled in utilizing techniques that are required in order to maintain children discipline and routines. In my previous places of work, I am responsible for not just looking after children but providing help with lessons, managing meals for them, pick them up from school and play with them until the parents returned HOME FROM WORK. When looking after the children, I tried to provide opportunities for them to express their creativity through art, music and make-believe play, educational opportunities through stories and games and kept them positively engaged in physical and outdoor activities.
