Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

Mature, experienced, Covid-vigilant nanny available for part-time, occasional or full-time childcare. The profile photo is of my favorite Japanese garden, used because of privacy concerns online outside of the site. I can send a personal photo directly if you wish or we can Zoom. I have over 30 years combined nannying and child group program experience. I also home-schooled my children through to college, worked at Sick Kids and with children with special needs. I have particular experience helping children with anxiety, learning issues, modifying difficult behaviors & increasing resiliency in children during changes and difficult times. Having worked in a children's hospital setting prior I have had an awareness of safety & hygiene protocols and would work with a family to implement the best for our relationship during CoV19. In the children's hospital I worked in the psychology & psychiatry departments. In one, I delivered mindfulness & anxiety-reduction programs. I also taught Visual Arts and tutored. My approach to caring for children of any age is holistic and child-centered. I use teachable moments in an easy organic way to teach and guide children's behaviours. To work during CoV19, I am available for a single family/household for a longer-term position, with children who are of an age to follow mask guidelines and who are not attending school, or infants where the parents are consistently Covid-safe. I would happily submit to routine temperature checks and welcome that of other household members also. With the lack of readily available testing for folks in Ontario who do not display symptoms, these measures become more necessary. I am also a non-smoker. I am fun, attentive and a positive, patient authority-figure in my care and follow the guidelines of the parent's child-rearing philosophy. I have had a police check and CPR & First Aid training. I will be renewing the CPR this year and getting an updated check. I look forward to hearing from you.
