I'm an
Individual
**DUE TO COVID-19 AND MYSELF AND MY HOUSEHOLD BEING IMMUNOCOMPROMISED AND HIGH RISK, I UNFORTUNATELY WILL NOT BE LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT AT THIS TIME. PLEASE RESPECT THIS DIFFICULT DECISION I HAVE HAD TO MAKE.** Greetings! My name is Kimberleigh and I can offer high-spirited childcare that comes with many years of experience. I have run my own daycare at a fitness centre; worked with mentally and physically disabled kids and adults (PSW & CBI); taught martial arts to youth and teens; and I have worked as a nanny for children as young as 5 months. Being a caregiver, support worker, coach, teacher, and nanny is work I am passionate about and committed to. I started babysitting when I was twelve years old within my neighbourhood. I spent March break and the Summers I had as a teenager working as a counsellor at kids' camps. When I was twenty, I worked as a special needs caregiver for the first time. I then moved to Vancouver and spent the years of my early and mid twenties working as nanny for a few wonderful families and worked part-time for the Community Living Society offering disability services and support for disabled adults. In my late twenties, I became a historical fencing and martial arts coach for children and adults- my school even had a full kid's program during Spring and Summer breaks which I helped run and organize for six years! Now that I am back in Toronto in my early thirties, I am looking to become part of another wonderful family's life as their caregiver. I love working with children and delight in using their own natural sense of curiosity and budding interests when playing or teaching with them. They'll never cease to amaze you! AVAILABILITY: I am looking to work in a live-out, part-time position. My schedule has a few restraints- such as the martial arts and fitness classes I teach at 6pm on Monday and Wednesday nights- which means I need to be on my way to the studio no later than 5 or 5:30pm depending on your location. Other than that, my schedule is wide open and fairly flexible. (I have received numerous requests from families that want me available weeknights beyond these hours. Please understand that I cannot move around my teaching times on these Monday and Wednesday nights, so if you need childcare on those evenings I am not the right fit for your family.) A few times a year I am invited to teach internationally at various martial arts and fencing events around the world. I always have 3-12 months notice before these events and would endeavour to make things work around your family's needs. I passed my Level 1 First Aid (with specialty for wheelchair bound persons) back in 2008 through Saint John's Ambulance when I lived in Vancouver, British Columbia. I am more than happy to update these skills. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and discovering if I am the right fit for your family!

Kimberleigh worked for my martial arts school as a youth instructor for many years. She was highly regarded by her co-workeers, parents, and most importantly the young people in our programs. She is a compassionate and caring person with a lot to offer any family.

Kimberleigh Roseblade is amazing with children of all ages, and has an extensive background in working with special needs children of all sorts. She is organized, diligent, empathetic, and would make a great nanny for any child.
