Nanny in Hamilton, Ontario

Hi! My name is Rebecca, this summer I plan to have a lot of fun when caring for children. I have spent my past six summers working at residential summer camps and have had an amazing time doing so! I am a University Students and plan to continue my education by attending college for a child related program after finishing my degree. My typical day as a care giver would start out with breakfast, and then heading outside before it gets too hot. After lunch we would go swimming or set up a sprinkler to cool down, and then come inside to do some creative activities.
