Nanny in Calgary, Alberta

Hi! I’m Emiline! I have my Veterinary Technical Assistant certificate through Olds College, Early Childhood Education Level 1, and nutrition and fitness coach certification through OFNC. I love exploring the outdoors (through rock climbing, canoeing, hiking, mountain biking, horse pack trips, and backpacking) and sharing my knowledge through teaching of any kind (eg. guiding hiking trips or teaching riding lessons). I love to maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep well rounded. I have been in the childcare industry for about 10 years now, working with children of all ages and abilities from newborn to the teen years. I specialize in screen free childcare with a strong sense of the benefits of outdoor exploration (even if it’s just eating lunch outside or going for a quick 5 minute bundled up stroller walk in the winter). My personal philosophy is that there are no “bad” children, and the majority of the struggles that arise are due to being hungry, tired, or overstimulated, which is my job as the caring adult to be with them to co-regulate (and to always have extra snacks on hand!). I have a son that was born December 2021 who will be joining which I recognize may bring up some questions (How would we handle potential sickness?Would I have to pay for food/supplies/outings for my nanny’s child?Nap schedules?) which I would love to answer with you if they are of concern. He has joined me while caring for other kiddos of families of multiple children since he was about 5 months old so he is quite used to it. I have first aid certification (with CPR/AED) which I keep updated, an Alberta Driver’s License with a clean drivers abstract, and a clean police background check with a vulnerable sector. I am available as a casual babysitter for evenings and weekends! Feel free to text or email with any questions. A more formal resume and references (which are recent and from when my son has tagged along) are available upon request. Thank you for checking in! Emiline
