Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

Hi! My name is Elise! I am a certified Child and Youth Worker with a three year graduate diploma from George Brown College. For several years I have worked with a variety of children and their families in many different settings such as tutoring, supply teaching, infant care, hosting birthday parties, providing clinical behavioral therapy, and simple occasional babysitting. Through these experiences I have enhanced my ability to self-manage and multitask in high-pace/ hi-stress environments, as well as develop extensive interpersonal communication and problem-solving skills. I am respectful, responsible, and quick to learn. When it comes to compatibility, I am a very fun, quirky, and down-to-earth individual. I have many great references to vouch for me (available upon request)! In regards to my ideologies about people in general, I believe in the equal acceptance and treatment of all ages, genders and race. I would like to help children especially since they have the most potential to flourish if given the correct guidance. I believe that all people deserve effort, love, and attention because just as in nature, a seed requires a specific environment to grow. I see children as blooming seeds waiting to receive the necessary nourishment and environment to grow and begin their life. Happiness is not a luxury granted exclusively to me, and it is my pleasure and duty to share this experience with others. My goal as a Child and Youth Worker is to develop therapeutic relationships with children through the act of mentoring while providing the many supports necessary for success. As H. Jackson Brown says, “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.” Helping people makes me feel alive. I want to be a role model, continue growing as a person and most importantly make a difference in this world. I truly believe in the saying, “One small candle can light up an entire dark room.” I know I can be the match that lights the wick within other people; guiding them through the hard times and teaching them that there are many beautiful reasons to live in this world. I thank you in advance for reviewing my profile, Sincerely, Elise! Hi! I am a certified Child and Youth Worker. I have worked with many different ages of children and in many different settings over the past 8 years. My most recent experience is providing child care for a family with three children ages 1, 4, and 6. I have extensive skills in behavior management and childhood development, and I am a fun, loving, quirky care giver! I have great references upon request, and will be more than happy to email you a full version of my resume. Look forward to hearing from you!
