Nanny in Ottawa, Ontario

I'm an
Individual
My name is Denya Muir and I am currently in my first year at Acadia University. I am studying psychology with hopes of specializing in neuroscience. I will be back in Ottawa for the summer and would love to spend it with an awesome family while making some money to help pay for school. I absolutely love working with children and animals so pets are a bonus for me. I have 6 younger cousins so I have always been the babysitter of the family. When I was 15, I started after school care for a child of a family friend who has both mental and physical disabilities. I worked with him until I graduated and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. His family also had a golden retriever that they adopted while I was working with them so I have experience caring for a puppy. I also worked at a summer camp for children with type one diabetes over the summer so I have experience helping youth count carbs, take insulin, and I have knowledge about type one diabetes although I myself am not diabetic. Playing sports is also something I am very passionate about. I played hockey for 13 years, both competitive and house league. There is a program called FUNdamentals through the NGHA where 5-7 year old girls learn to play hockey, which I had the luxury of coaching. Although hockey is my favourite sport, I also played soccer and lacrosse and enjoy being active in many ways. Along with caring for children, I also have experience as a tutor. My grades have been good throughout my career as a student and I particularly enjoy languages (I am fluent in English, French, and Finnish and am currently taking German and Spanish courses), mathematics, and science. I would be more than willing to help with homework. Overall, I believe in creating a supportive and safe environment for children to help them have fun and to give them a positive role model outside of their family to look up to.

Recommendations

Denya Muir and I have worked with children together for about a year, both in a summer camp setting, caring for type 1 diabetic children, and working with a child living with physical and mental disabilities. Never have I met someone so dedicated to childcare. No matter what situation she is thrown into, Denya instantly knows how to handle it. She has an understanding for children that allows her to understand and connect with children on a level that I have rarely seen before. She has a certain spark to her that instantly makes children adore her. Denya can only be described as warm, mature, playful and caring. A child at heart, not only would Denya be a mature, responsible nanny, but also a friend to your child. I would highly recommend Denya as a nanny to anyone wanting their child to have a fun, safe, enriching experience. She would absolutely be the first I would go to with my own children.
