Nanny in Vancouver, British Columbia

I am a loving and nurturing nanny, who is offering a safe and happy environment for your children; a fun and energy-filled day of opportunities for growth and development; and the promise that I will provide what you want your children to have in your absence. I am a certified kindergarten to grade 3 teacher and have extensive classroom experience. As well, I have worked with children in a hospice environment. I am an experienced nanny whose focus is on your child\\\"s personal, social, and educational development, in the context of a fun and energy filled day. I believe parents, children, and caregivers form a team with the child\\\'s needs at the centre. When that happens, everyone benefits. I am patient, positive, flexible. I think every day should be filled with new experiences and learning - for me and the children in my care. I am respectful of your privacy, your home, and your values and beliefs. I will provide references from previous teaching and nannying positions with confidence.
