Nanny in Calgary, Alberta

I'm an
Individual
Dear Family, I have over 35 years of childcare experience and 31 years of seasoned driving experience. My clients will tell you, my services give them peace of mind. I enjoy spending time with children. I am passionate about seeing children learn, teaching them to discover new things about the world around them and themselves. I engage children through play and exploration, to help develop their communication and social skills. I am part of the support system in helping you with your children’s growth and development, while keeping them healthy and safe. I am capable of preparing easy, healthy meals for children. I do light cleaning, such as loading and unloading the dishwasher, washing pots and pans, wiping the table and kitchen counters, mostly pertaining to the children at meal time. I specialize in being a nanny and a teacher, not a housekeeper or cook. However, when your children are napping, that gives me time to tidy and do meal prep. If your children are in school, I am able to grab groceries and do errands. I think I would be an asset to your family because I am a fun loving, caring person. I am efficient, organized, able to multitask and prioritize. I am patient and understanding. I like to teach, play games, go to playgrounds, the zoo and science centre. I also like bike riding, camping, walking and hiking. I love to have fun and keep the kids entertained. I have a lot of life and work experience under my hat. I believe I am what you are looking for. I would love to meet you and your family.

Recommendations

Maria is reliable and trust worthy. I appreciate the care and attention she provides to my daughter. I feel completely at ease knowing she is looking after my little princess!

Mary Beth B

Maria has been a part of our family and our support network for a few months. Her expectations and our needs have aligned. Maria likes to take our children on outings, excursion and extra-circular activities. She drives my children around the city and is comfortable with our baby equipment - even installing them (car seats, strollers, bikes and carriers). She feeds the children, gets them to sleep and tidies up their messes. She likes to read to them, do crafts and keeps them busy both inside and outside of the house. Our children are 10 months and 3.5 years and I know it can be demanding. She is confident feeding my 3.5 year old despite his long list of food intolerances. Maria is a great addition to our support network.

Maria looked after our infant son for a few months so we could have the opportunity to go out on date nights, etc. It was so nice to have someone with her experience whom we knew we could trust to look after him and handle any issues that may have arisen. We would wholeheartedly recommend Maria as a nanny.
