Nanny in Ottawa, Ontario

Hey there! Thanks for looking at my profile. I'm 20 years old and adore children. I grew up helping my mum babysit, sometimes up to 12 children at once! I also have two nieces, one of which lived with me up until I recently moved here in September. She'll be six in January and we are the very best of friends! She's got ADHD and consequently isn't always the best listener, but with patience and routine and working to find something that works for her as an individual person, we've done very well together. I've got lots of little cousins who look up to me and I simply adore spending time with children, being somewhat of a mentor for them. I am currently doing a double major in political science and communications (en français) and plan to attend law school. I've traveled and lived abroad (mainly Spain, but have traveled most of Europe), and I am extremely well mannered, patient, and polite. I love to play games, tell stories, have movie nights, do activities (like making a new fun snack together, or playing bingo), and help with homework. I'm also vegetarian and absolutely adore animals so, if you've got pets, I wouldn't mind helping out with them. I prefer not to work with newborns simply because I don't feel I'm experienced enough, but if your child is potty trained and doesn't need a bottle, then I'm definitely qualified and looking forward to helping you! My mum is obsessed with gardening and we did it a lot growing up... we even turned our court into a beautiful rose garden with a bench! As for swimming, I took lessons growing up and at one point considered becoming a life guard. I have no issues there. I can get from point A to B however I don't have a license, so if that's necessary to you, we aren't a match (not until next year, anyway). Cheers :)
