Nanny in Edmonton, Alberta

Hi! My name is Mirinda, and I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable babysitter based in Edmonton. I truly enjoy working with children and helping families feel comfortable knowing their kids are in safe and trustworthy hands. I’m currently a university student studying Psychology at Athabasca University, which has helped me better understand communication, development, behaviour, and the importance of supporting others with patience and respect. I also currently work as a Recreation Aide in a retirement residence, where I support residents through activities, social programs, and person-centred care. This role has helped me become even more patient, attentive, organized, and calm when caring for others. I have experience creating safe, respectful, and welcoming environments, encouraging participation, following routines, and supporting individuals with different needs. I have babysitting experience caring for toddlers and young children for family members, family friends, and local families. Through these experiences, I have learned how important it is to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy spending time with kids doing activities such as arts and crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, baking, and learning activities. I am also happy to help with daily routines such as snack preparation, light housekeeping, diaper changes, bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged in age-appropriate activities. I always respect each family’s rules, routines, and parenting preferences, and I make sure to communicate clearly with parents. Safety is very important to me. I have completed a Police Information Check and Vulnerable Sector Check, and my Child Intervention Record Check is currently pending. I also have training in Trauma & Violence-Informed Care, Protection of Privacy, WHMIS, Safe Food Handling, Hand Hygiene, Resident Abuse Prevention and Reporting, Person-Centered Care, Respect in the Workplace, Suicide Prevention, and Medication Administration. I have also completed First Aid/CPR training in the past and a babysitting course, and I am open to renewing these certifications if needed. Parents can feel reassured knowing that I take responsibility, safety, privacy, and trust very seriously. I always aim to create a calm, positive, and respectful environment where children feel safe, cared for, and understood. I’m also comfortable around pets and happy to help care for them if needed. I previously had a poodle myself, so I understand how important pets are to families. In my free time, I enjoy staying active and creative. Some of my hobbies include swimming, yoga, baking, drawing, writing, and spending time with my family. I would describe myself as positive, patient, organized, and genuinely caring. If you’re looking for a babysitter who is kind, reliable, trustworthy, and truly enjoys caring for children, I would love the opportunity to support your family.
