Nanny in Calgary, Alberta

I'm an
Individual
The dishes never end. You forgot to feed the dog, again. Goldfish crackers have become your carpet fibers, and you’re pretty sure that your kid never sleeps -- and if she does, there’s still never enough time in the day to get a moment to yourself let alone with your husband. Here’s where I come in: My name is Tiana, and I’m a “put the toilet paper on the roll” kind of person. I have much experience in housekeeping, with some informal experience has a childcare provider. As a nanny, my expectations for myself will be above and beyond your average weeknight babysitter. I will treat your tiny ones like they are my own: building them up with confidence, and being there to kiss owies if they fall. I want to immerse your child in the wonderful things that make childhood, well, childhood. I feel that many caregivers are prone to sitting kids down in front of the TV or some toys, and while I believe limited freeplay is essential to childhood, I know that kids need stimulation beyond Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol. To me this means day trips to Princess Island Park, lunch at Science World, or a visit to the Discovery Zone at the Glenbow with a browse of the mineral gallery. It means catching caterpillars in jars, drawing on the sidewalk with chalk as we blow bubbles. I am comfortable being firm but gentle, and consistent with a child, as I believe this is the way a child feels most secure. As I feel I’m not just a hand in raising your children but raising the next generation of adults, manners, and respect for self, others and environment are important factors in the way I interact with kids. My philosophy is to listen to understand not to reply. I think everyone, but mostly kids, just want to be understood. I like involving kids in problem-solving and encourage them to express their feelings. With my experience as a housekeeper, you can also expect your home to be goldfish-carpet-free at the end of the day, with no toys to trip over and dishes away. Your kids will always be my priority over housework, however, I believe that a sense of order is important for cultivating a positive child-friendly atmosphere. I’m comfortable tidying up the kids’ rooms and their laundry. Housework can be discussed at leisure. My availability is pretty flexible. I’m looking for part-time or full-time live-out position, but I’m open to a live-in if the fit is right. Hours and payment can be discussed at a later date. I’m also willing to complete a trial run for both our benefits before we agree to anything long term. I understand that choosing and hiring an in-home caregiver can be a daunting and sometimes tedious task. Not only are you trusting someone to watch your most precious little humans, but also your most expensive asset! So please don’t think twice about contacting me with any information you would like.
