Nanny in Vancouver, British Columbia
I'm an
Individual
Hello! I am a Canadian nanny with about 20 years experience in Vancouver. I've worked with children of all ages, mostly toddlers / pre-schoolers and also lots of infants including twins.
I am looking for part-time work, ideally 2 or 3 days, 20-25 hours a week. This could be in your home or mine.
There is one little catch, and it's a cute one....I have a 12 month old son who will accompany me, he's my first child. We are looking for the ideal situation where everyone will benefit!
A nanny-share would be great, it would be fun to have a small group of children. This would give the children the socialization of a daycare, but with much more one-on-one adult interaction.
I love to engage and connect with children....we talk, sing, read, play and go on outside adventures everyday. I also value feeding kids healthy whole food and having regular rest periods or naps.
I travel by transit so you would have to be close to the west end of downtown. Olympic Village/Granville Island/Yaletown would be ok.
I am also considering having up to 2 kids in my own home, if that works better.
A bit more about me:
I have made a career out of childcare and enjoy reading about child development, parenting styles, discipline styles, pregnancy, childbirth, ect. Before I got pregnant I was training to be a DONA postpartum doula. I've taken Montessori and Orton-Gillingham courses. My interests include being out in nature (walking, biking, swimming) reading novels, traveling, playing video games and board games. I spend a lot of time visiting with relatives or just hanging out with my husband and baby.
I'm a calm and quiet person, people tell me I am very patient. Caregiving comes naturally to me and I enjoy the challenges that come with it.
I am about to update my CPR / first aid, I have no criminal record, I have a license and am a safe driver.
I can provide excellent references from families who have known me for years.
My rate would be around $20-25/hr
It could be split between two families if you had that arrangement.
Please contact me to talk further, or email me any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
