I'm an
Individual
Caring for children has always been close to my heart. I was a summer camp counselor for 4 years, and am a very proud Auntie to 3 amazing little boys, and 1 beautiful teenage girl. I am a trained and certified Baker/Pastry Chef, whose early-rising jobs allowed me to care part-time, 4 days/week, for my 2 1/2 year old nephew. Our time together was filled with education-based games, creative crafts, imaginative play, story-time, field trips, and fun. I am a firm believer in routine, schedules, and planning, but am able to adapt and change to a variety of situations – things certainly don’t always go according to plan when toddlers are involved! I am patient, kind, caring, and filled to the brim with love and compassion. I believe in natural teachable moments, embracing the outdoors, and the importance of listening and understanding the individuality of children. As an adolescent, I began volunteering with the Town of Halton Hills Recreation department in their summer camp programs, and was offered a seasonal job with them throughout my high school career. I worked both one-on-one with children with disabilities, as well as leading groups of 10-40 children in a variety of summer camp programs. I specialized in Performance, and Musical Theatre Camps. It was my responsibility to program plan for these camps, and execute all activities throughout the day. We embarked on a variety of field trips, and put on galas and performances for the children's parents at the end of the week. This instilled a sense of "team" in the children by working towards a common goal; as well as a sense of pride and accomplishment for achieving that goal together. Though I am a passionate baker and love to cook, caring for children has always been close to my heart. I am a very proud Auntie to 3 amazing little boys, and 1 beautiful teenage girl. My previous early-rising baking jobs allowed me to care part-time, 4 days/week, for my 2 1/2 year old nephew. Our time together was filled with education-based games, creative crafts, imaginative play, story-time, field trips, and fun. I am a firm believer in routine, schedules, and planning, but am able to adapt and change to a variety of situations � things certainly don�t always go according to plan when toddlers are involved!
