Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

My name is Monika Henriksson and I am 39 years old. I am from Poland and currently I live in Sweden. I received my education at Warsaw University in Poland, where I got my Master´s degree in early education. Later I studied teacher’s education at Stockholm University in Sweden and acquired both preschool and primary school teachers’ certificates. Now I work as a preschool teacher in Stockholm. I am very easy-going and always cheerful and I love children. In my job, I am hard-working, responsible and well-organized. I am also trustworthy. I can always keep a good relationship with my colleges and the parents. Two of my other strong points are patience and a strong sense of empathy. When taking care of children, I focus not only on their physical well-being, but also their individual development. I have studied children’s developmental psychology and with my teaching experience, I can see an individual child’s special need and try my best to guide them and build their confidence. I have rich pedagogical experiences. In Poland, I worked as a nanny with three families for several years. My job was to take care of children (from newborn babies to seven-year-old children) and do the housework such as cleaning the house, cooking, doing the laundry, buying groceries and sometimes walking a dog. I also worked as a preschool teacher at an international preschool for about one year. I was responsible for children around four years old at that time. Currently in Sweden, I work fulltime at a public preschool in Stockholm. I am teaching children between one and three years old. We use Reggio Emilia pedagogy at this school. We spend a lot of time reading, singing, playing games and doing outdoor activities. Besides, I also know sign language and I have worked with deaf children. I am very interested in working as a nanny because I feel it best when I work with one, two or with three children. I can spend all my attention to their development and that makes me a great achievement and feel very proud of myself. I enjoy the family atmosphere and family life. I am also very good at house-cleaning and I like keeping things in order. I like walking, drawing, reading, travel, photography and documentation, learn new languages. monXgmail.....
