Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

Dear fun and loving family, My name is Heather and I am a Nanny with over 10 years of child care experience. I have a natural passion for childcare and I'm continuously educating myself about early learning and child and youth development. First and foremost my responsibility is to always make sure that your child has a safe and peaceful environment in order to ensure their well-being and cognitive development. When I'm not caring for little ones you can find me reading books about sociology, emotional intelligence, social justice, art and science fiction. I am a very attentive and loving individual, who will always consider your child's needs and emotions. I am deeply aware your children are your most precious blessings and I promise to bring that same energy when they are in my care. I strongly believe that children are sacred as well as future leaders of society and should therefore be treated with utmost care and respect. I have a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts and love to share my creative side with the children I care for. Exploring art and music is a great way to develop the brain, practice motor skills and express the self. I love learning new things and coming up with fun activities to share with the children I work with. I also love to spend time outdoors (weather permitting). I find children are most content when they are outside exploring the world around them. Additionally, I love preparing healthy snacks and meals for the children I look after. I personally love filling my body with plant based foods (vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, whole-grains). I find these foods are great for the stomach, immune system and overall balance of the body. Plus early love for fruits and vegetables reduces risk of developing heart disease, obesity, acne, cancer and allergies. With all this said, I'm also aware that your child's diet is your choice and will honour the diet that you have set out for your child :) I have experience with multiples, infants, children with special needs, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. I believe no two children are exactly the same therefore, healthy communication with both parents is paramount in order to provide the type of environment and childcare that is specific to your child. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me. I look forward to hearing from you. If you have any questions or would like to get in touch with a few of my references please do not hesitate to ask. Warm regards, Heather
