Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

My name is Maanii, I am an Ojibwe and Mohawk woman, and have had a passion for working with children and families all my life. I have no children, am a highschool graduate from Etobicoke School of the Arts, through which I received honourable awards such as highest academic achievement, and others for my visual art work. I'm a two time Toronto Arts grant recipient for my work in community including my work with young children and youth. I share this to demonstrate my commitment to holding part in fostering a creative and intellectually engaging environment for your children and newborns. I worked previously for two years as an arts instructor with small children at Artscape Youngeplace, located in the Queen West neighborhood. I have also worked at a community foodbank as a gardenhand and youth programmer, where I taught children age 4-12 about heritage seeds, indigenous methods of growing plants, and just had fun cooking with them. I have done doula training and babysat my whole life, only now wanting to become a fulltime nanny.I have also been a childcare attendant in Curve Lake First Nation, where I was watching and programming a group of about 7 children at afterschool programs for about 4 hours a day 5 days a week. I have babysat my newborn cousins and lived in their home while my aunt and uncle were gone for weeks at a time as they are prominent lawyers in Toronto. I have been registered as a doula, and have extensive knowledge of medical botany, natural remedies and native plants. I am very engaging with children, I enjoy reading to them, collaborating on arts and crafts. I can sew and tend to any clothes that need mending, and am a great house keeper. I can cook vegetarian food aswell as healthy meat dishes and would love to be apart of your homie in this way aswell, whether live in or out. I can bring my own tupperware to store your leftovers! Working with children and the bonds we share is very important to me. You can contact me via email or phone at [email protected] , or 647-225-.... Take care and have a great day.
