Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

Hi, my name is Anne and I am an energetic, creative and engaging nanny. I love children and the sense of wonder they bring to every day. I treat children with care, respect, clear boundaries and a lot of singing. I honour children's pace, routine and help them to navigate big feelings. I facilitate lots of child-led, open-ended play, outdoors in all weather and indoors; while eschewing passive and other screen time. I love to cook and include kids in food prep in age-appropriate ways. I I look forward to hearing about your little one(s) and how I may help your family!
