Nanny in Calgary, Alberta

I'm an
Individual
✨(I'm, CURRENTLY EMPLOYED part-time)✨ Hi my name is Samantha Ashworth, Let me begin by telling you a little about myself & my reasons this personal interest with assisting in fostering a child in their unique traits and abilities. Firstly I'm looking to aid in the natural and unique characteristics that make each child an individual. I thoroughly enjoy discovering the beauty each little human possess in their personal talents. Also I find myself growing in the challenges we must face as a team/family. I personally have always dreamed to help children as lifetime goal of since I was a child. My ultimate dream is to make a bigger impact because I truly feel kids are our future. I get excited with thoughts of the day to day challenges that will bring on not only career growth but personal growth; spiritual, emotional & mental. I have high hopes that I will spare no effort in all areas of involvement or request. I plan to be an strong asset & to further contribute to the family upon my hire. I'm a reliable, honest & punctual person. I will take on board all directions to the best of my abilities & would love to have feedback such as constructive criticism or ideas & recommendations with the comfort of little to no hesitations. Some deeper background. I grew up in what a lot would say Calgary's poverty the challenges I faced as a child made me the strong compassionate adult I am today. I, myself have discovered a lot of the abilities & gifts I have, in which plan to share as its wanted or needed. I started raising an infant (my baby brother) at the young age of 10 years old as my mother had been single mother & was working hard to support us. I naturally rose to the challenges in aid of our family. It has become a nature of mine to instantaneously be this nurturing person. I value the importance of being mentored in all facets of life but also know there's a time to give that space to a child to figure things out based on their own experiences. Balance is really a key I've learned in life. My current situation, making plans to open a childcare/school. Something decent that I've been feeling we are so desperately needing these days. It really has always been a big dream of mine, since I was a little six year old. However, there is a ton of work, time, and money involved so I'm only looking to possibily provide care on a part-time basis. My hours of avalibility are limited to mornings right now. I have a large range of experience, I have I done the studies in my preferred philosophies (which we can discuss further in a in-person converastion), & I've also been someone diganosed with challenges & giftedness. Allowing me a greater insight as someone who understands through both personal experience & professional studies. I also must mention that I attend church twice on Sundays starting at 10am & 6pm and Wednesday evenings begining at 7pm they aren't very negotiable for me. (I'm only willing to bring children with me if it is needed.) I'm part of my church's worship team so sometimes I'll head in early for practice. Alot of my pracitces or side tutoring can be worked out & shuffled around to a fair degree. Finally I'd like to mention that I'm located right between Bearspaw & Cochrane so if a family in the area is looking that would be a plus, but not a must. Although NW Calgary or Cochrane area is preferable. On another very nessessary note, it's important for me to allow the parents be in control & make the outline of what specifically they wish to have accomplished each day. I have acquired lots of skills in my years such as; coaching through play, guiding effective transitions, teaching suitable manners...etc I have also worked with the wonderful challenges of children with behavior management issues & was incredibly blessed to see the astonishing changes. I also have strong communication skills and I am an excellent problem solver. I'm willing to provide feedback or ideas upon only the parents/guardians request while also considering the timing or sensitivity of the parents/guardians & children. Please, if you have any questions or just want to get to know me further, feel free to message me here. If your family is interested you can contact me & feel free to ask the questions to help you further decide. Thank you in advance for this potential enriching opportunity! -Samantha Worked for many childcare facilities / homes: * Talisman Centre Childcare. Calgary, Alberta Canada * EarlyCare Childcare.
