Nanny in Calgary, Alberta

During my time working with children with special needs at Our Lady Queen of Peace Ranch I realized my passion for working with children. My career temporarily went in other directions, but I now realize that working with children is what I truly believe I was meant to do. I am currently registered for the Early Learning & Childcare program at Bow Valley College where I plan to take online courses at night. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss this position with you. Program Coordinator at Our Lady Queen of Peace Ranch • Organized weekly camp activities for 500 children between the ages of 6-16 • Organized day camps for children with special needs (e.g. FASD, ADD, ADHD, ODD, Down Syndrome and autism) • Helped with schedules & special requirement meals • Helped camp nurse document instructions for meds upon arrival at camp Ran gym daycare center • Minded children (3 mo. – 6 yrs.) while their parents used the gym facilities • Planned fun & educational activities • Ensured facilities & toys were sanitary After working at the gym for a short time, one of the regular instructors was impressed at how I cared for her autistic son and hired me for childcare for both of her children in her home on a regular basis when she had classes to teach.
