Nanny in Burnaby, British Columbia

Dear Families, I have over 8 years of childcare experience and enjoy caring for children of various age groups. Some of the things I enjoy about my work with children,is learning about their developmental milestones, nutrition, physical, emotional and cognitive well-being, massage therapy and developing strengths through music, reading, writing, play time, building, socializing, puzzles, workbooks. Aside from caring for children, I enjoy sports (swimming, tennis, badminton, snowboarding), volunteering for City of Surrey (Childrens Department), Key Club International, Wellness and Spa Seminars. Lastly, I enjoy trying new recipes and getting children involved in cooking, or baking. Prior to working with children, I was a gerontological aide, nurse working with seniors at different stages of life: from intermediate to extended care facilities with various pathologies from dementia to alzheimers, MS, brain cancer and more. I think I was very young having the responsibility I had, and I needed a position that was more uplifting and engaging for a 20 year old. Now that Im more mature I can handle the end of life care (palliative care). Over the years I have taken courses in Water Safety Instructor, perfected my cooking and baking abilities, and added Massage Therapy, as part of my continuous journey to well-being and health for families and myself. Over the years, I have worked with some of the most amazing and hard working families, and had the pleasure to care for children of all ages and groups. In summary here are my qualifications: Resident Care Attendant (University of the Fraser Valley) 2009 Spa Therapy (Hot Stone, Swedish) 2012- continuous Marketing Management (Douglas College) 2016 Water Safety Instructor 2016 Bronze Cross, Bronze Medallion Certified 2016 Lifeguard in Training- 2016 First Aid Trained Reliable Class 5 Drivers License Bilingual, Best student achievement award German, fluent Russian Strong interest in homework supervision, tutoring and developing children through play and books interest in canning (apples, figs, cucumbers).
