Nanny in Calgary, Alberta

I'm an
Individual
Dear Family, My name is Zuzana and I am 40 years old. I come from Slovakia which is the most castellated country in the middle of Europe. After finishing the High School in Slovakia I studied 5 years at the University in Banska Bystrica at Faculty of Humanities. After having successfully graduated in 2005 I obtained diploma as a teacher of Physical Education, Slovak Language and Slovak Literature. During my study years I was also coaching judo for boys and girls aged 3 to 15. As regards my leisure time, I try to enjoy and appreciate every moment of my life. I like simple things and I am an optimist and outdoor person. I like walking, camping, hiking and yoga. I also like spending my time with my friends and visiting places I have not been visited yet before. Furthermore I cannot imagine life without a reading of a good book. I also cant sit at home without doing something. My friends described me as a hard-working, detail-orientated, responsible and friendly person. As regards my work experience, throughout my career I tried different kind of jobs. First of all, I worked as an Administration Manager in the Military Sport Centre for 1,5 year. Then I worked one year as a Medical Representative for private medical company. With regard to the fact that I did not like the administrative part of these jobs I decided to devote my time to the children. As regards my child care experience, I would like to emphasize that I have looked after children in both formal and informal contexts. In this respect I would like to point out that I have gathered more than 9 years of experience in taking care of children. During that time I had been working for four great families. In brief, first experience I obtained in my family by taking care of my two younger cousins, who were 2 years and 12 months old that time. Later my brother got married and has two sons. My older nephew, Simon, was born when I was studying at the university. As soon as I took him in my arms I realized that the biggest happiness is to take care of a child and see it grown and I loved that time which I spent with him. During my study at university I was also working as a part time nanny in our neighbourhood. Furthermore I spent 3 years in USA in Pittsburgh where I had been working as a live out nanny for family with two boys, 24 months old Sammy and newborn Nicky. Later I decided with my fiance to move to Canada, where I took care of 15 months old boy Damian. In another family I took care of two kids, first one was 15 months old girl Maria and the second one, Evan, who was born later, over the course of my employment. I had been with them for 3 years and they weren\'t just my employers, but I felt like a part of their family and also their friend. My last job in Calgary was with two amazing kids Kylie and Nathan (starting when they were 14 months old and 3 years old) and I stayed with them for almost 3 years until I had my own baby Jakub:-). I really enjoyed this time. I organized various indoor and outdoor activities for kids: we sang, danced, played games, role played, drew, painted, and narrated stories. We also visited the public library, ZOO and went out on picnics. I would like to work for a family where I can bring my 4 years old son Jakub, when he doesn’t have preschool/childcare. He is very sweet active boy and he loves to play with other kids. These all children care experience made me realize that I hadn't made a mistake in choosing my mission to devote my time to children and be a professional nanny. I like to give my knowledge to children, to teach them to make difference between good and bad, not only to teach them new things but also to bring up a child as a person. Moreover I have never forgotten how I felt when I was a child and try to follow this feeling when planning the interesting activities for children. Since I am strongly familiar with children care issues and have relevant experience, I believe to be well suited for the position of live out nanny in your family. I would therefore be very grateful if I could be given an opportunity to demonstrate my skills and knowledge as well as further discuss my motivation to work for your family during a personal interview. Should you need any further information, please, do not hesitate to contact me.
