Nanny in Edmonton, Alberta

LMIA required. Genuine. Honest. Reliable. Positive. Proactive. Flexible. Creative. Calm. Clear-thinking. Forward-thinking. Enterprising. Trustworthy. Poised under pressure. I grew up on the pool deck with my three younger siblings. I was raised to cherish my family and have brought that loyalty into my professional career. I most recently spent four years developing a Children\'s Program in San Francisco. It was a rich and rewarding position full of healthy challenge and opportunities to stretch my creativity. I am tuned in to the needs of the modern family in an urban setting. My college education (2006-20...) was centered around arts and literature. In my spare time I love a good novel or diving into an art project to rekindle my education. Most importantly I adored children. Since my first job as swim teacher I have found that kids, even with the demands of their care and safety, bring me immense joy. Why Canada? I live in Canada as of March 2017. I love the peace and sincerity I have found there. 10 years experience, 3 references - 4 years Children's Program Director - 12 years babysitting experience (over 25 families) - 5 years Swim Lesson Instructor I have always been a nurturing and generous person. I hope to foster a child's confidence in themselves and in me as their care giver. The delicate balance between disciplinarian and beloved friend is one I genuinely love to navigate. I earn respect. I generously love. I wisely discipline. I submit to a parents authority. I want to raise children who love the world, beautiful things, and most importantly themselves. 1. Where do you live today?
