Nanny in Sherwood Park, Alberta

My name is Anna and I am a responsible and reliable nanny in Sherwood Park, Alberta. I have had the opportunity to babysit both my younger brothers various hours of the day, I have also looked after other children as well. Having a significant age gap between my youngest brother and I, has given me quality time to experience caring for newborns, infants, and primary school age children, in a variety of areas in life. My services include providing full-time or part-time, live-out care, housekeeping, meal preparation and pet care. I got my babysitters course certification, covering various topics including cpr, and care for children. Furthermore I take on the majority of cooking and cleaning for both my families and have done so for others as well. about me ( currently on a gap year, I have completed 1/2 of grade 12; homeschooled myself thus far but am splitting grade 12 into 2 years ) 1- I speak Portuguese, English and Spanish 2- I have been playing the violin for around 13 years 3- daughter of 2 physicians father is an Emergency medical doctor and mother is a family physician, has two little brothers, Itzak 14 and Joseph 6. 4- I adore reading, painting, drawing, and writing 5- I enjoy gardening, and beekeeping, which I have done for the past 3 years 6- I enjoy hiking, indoor climbing, working out, (weight lifting, stretching, mobility training etc), I enjoy Martial Arts, (Arnis, Shaolin training and Boxing), and play squash 1-2 times a week. 7- I enjoy cooking a variety of food from different cultures, and learning about/utilizing my knowledge of plants and herbs, both for wellbeing and health. My personal preferences in food consist mostly of vegetarian and vegan dishes, though for the sake of my brothers, I have learnt how to prepare various meats. 8- in my time spent reading I enjoy physics, maths, most all the sciences, philosophy, human psychology, history, reading on western and eastern medicine, and biographies of those whom I respect. 9- I enjoy spending time with my brothers, though most of the time I have is spent of the youngest ( he needs the most supervision). My brother and I enjoy different types of Art, be it painting, pottery, sculpting or drawing, me reading to him, visiting the Science center, visiting museums, attending classical concerts, playing with Lego or puzzles while watching his shows or playing his music, playing bored games and active games such as hide and go seek, he enjoys when I play the violin for him or sing to him, working out together, ( I find same ways for him to join me, be it jumping jacks or planks) I train him in the Martial arts I myself do, and base his training on what is safe yet effective, we enjoy cooking together and then making “ fancy” dinners or sitting and having tea while talking, we spend time practicing etiquette, mindfulness, conscious awareness of our bodies( thinking about how we feel physically and emotionally and how they tie together in our current states, in an attempt to creat self awareness) we will sit and breath outside or go for quite walks consciously focusing on breathing in fresh air and getting sunlight, we take 10 minutes while I put him to bed, to go over what we did off our to do lists, think about what we enjoyed, didn’t really enjoyed, disliked, what we are grateful for, what we don’t think we should do again, or what we should do again, tell each other what we found good and joy in seeing the other do and the virtues we saw exhibited in ourselves and each other, we then express thanks for time spent together, because we are religious we say his prayers together and then I get him to sleep. I can provide a lists of activities I have done with children/things I am willing to do, as well as a list of meals I can prepare, ( though if given a recipe I can make most anything), a list of values and boundaries I hold myself too, my personal rules for myself ; as an example I don’t allow myself to use explicit language or swear, and refuse/will not use any vice or substance, be it alcohol or nicotine. I can also provide a list of random situations and how I would deal with them off the bat, though the parents wishes are the priority, making how I would handle different situations is fully flexible and negotiable. I can however provide a list of set situations I know how to deal with from a medical standpoint. I find purpose and peace in caring, nurturing, and making sure children are safe, healthy, respected, cared for and have everything they need. I am available to families during the day and have a competitive hourly rate of $20.00/hour. If you are looking for a loving, well rounded nanny in Sherwood Park, Alberta, please reach out to me.
