Nanny in Mississauga, Ontario

Hi there! My name is Roisin and I am deeply passionate about working with children. With a wealth of experience spanning various ages and abilities, I bring kindness, patience, and empathy to every childcare opportunity. My adaptable nature, resilience, and strong communication skills are the cornerstones of my caregiving approach. My journey in childcare began with volunteering for PLASP during my transition from elementary to high school. Since then, I have amassed extensive experience, ranging from infants to adulthood. Responsibilities have included bus pick-up, meal preparation, personal care, overnight support, homework assistance, and coordinating after-school programs. Throughout high school and university, I provided consistent care for a family for over three years, and I continue to offer occasional respite support to them. As a result, I have been able to work with this family for over 14 years which speaks to my desire to grow strong connections with the families I work with. During my university years, I frequently engaged in part-time nannying, offering after-school, occasional, and overnight care. There are a few families that I was lucky enough to work with part-time for multiple years while I completed my studies in Ottawa. My involvement in recreation, particularly with the City of Brampton, further enriched my childcare expertise. I served as an Integration Camp Leader and later as a Supervisor in roles such as Inclusion Specialist and Program Leader. These experiences honed my skills in catering to diverse age groups and fostering inclusive environments. In 2019, I supervised a summer program at Community Living Mississauga, integrating recreation with employment skills for teens. Despite the challenges posed by Covid, I continued to support individuals with disabilities, providing overnight care and assistance until recently. Additionally, since the fall of 2021, I have continued my dedication to childcare on an occasional and part-time basis, nurturing my passion for working with children. This period has allowed me to maintain my connection with childcare while also exploring new opportunities. I eagerly anticipate the chance to immerse myself fully in childcare once again and look forward to the joy of working with kids on a regular basis. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to connect with you and your family, and to provide the highest standard of childcare support. Please feel free to reach out so we can explore how I can be of assistance. Looking forward to getting to know you better! Qualifications: Police Check with Vulnerable Sector clearance.
