Nanny in Burnaby, British Columbia

Dear Parents, My name is Shideh Manavipour. I am a very high-energy person and love being active. I take pride in living a healthy lifestyle and uphold high standards of healthy living for the families I work with. I am a very creative person and enjoy arts and crafts, reading and have a zest for learning. I have a way with connecting with children as they bring out my inner child. In my previous role working at Sunflower Daycare, I was voted one of the best teachers by the students. I love the outdoors and believe kids should spend less time behind the screen and more time outside exploring nature. I have had the pleasure of working with children for over 15 years now and cannot imagine myself doing anything else. I have worked with children ages 6 months to 16 years old, in various educational settings, from home therapy programs, schools, daycares, residential care programs. You name it -- I have done it. I have many years of experience working as a Nanny, Educational Assistant, Support Worker, Residential Worker, Behavioural Interventionist, and Life Skills Youth Worker. My experience also extends to working with children with diverse abilities, specializing in autism and children with challenging behaviors. I have had opportunities to co-create and implement educational programs including but not limited to social-emotional learning, life skills, literacy, numeracy, and personal care to support children and youth in their educational and life endeavors. My experience also includes the preparation and training of personnel in implementing educational programs. During Covid, I become a certified youth Fitness Trainer and had the opportunity to teach fitness to children online and currently in the process of creating fitness programs for children and youth with diverse abilities. I am committed and passionate about fitness and self-development and understand the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. Jim Rohn said it best, "Take care of your body, it's the only place you have to live." I hold a Master’s in Educational Administration and Leadership from the University of British Columbia, and a Bachelor of General Studies with three minors in Education. Counseling and Human Development, Educational Psychology as well as Instruction and Curriculum. You might be wondering why I want to be a nanny with so much education and experience. Well, several reasons. One, I love working with children and being a positive influence in their lives, watching them grow and flourish. Two, I enjoy being a nanny and developing close-knit relationships with the family I work with. As a matter of fact, I am still good friends with two families I have nannied for. I look forward to hearing from you and having an opportunity to meet you and your family. I am looking for part time work during the holiday break and beyond. I have full availability from Dec 22-Jan 2. I can work days, evenings, overnight and weekend. Kindest Regards, Shideh Manavipour
