Highly Qualified Child Care Provider

Hello! My name is Emily and I am looking for employment in Ottawa, Ontario. I am a recent graduate from the University of Western Ontario having just received my BA in Political Science and Philosophy. I have worked with children for more than five years now in many capacities. I was a lifeguard and swim instructor for four years and since then I worked at the Boys & Girls Club in London, Ontario as an After School Recreation Staff and then was hired to Coordinate a Summer Camp there for two summers. I ran original programming each week to keep children engaged and happy in a safe environment. My programming also had an educational aspect and I had question periods with the children where they could feel safe to ask a question that has always been on their mind! I am a very fast learner and can easily adapt to new tasks or environments. I am currently certified in: CPR, Standard First Aid, National Lifeguard, High Five Principles of Healthy Child Development and Mental Health First Aid as well as a clear Criminal Records Check. I am also very comfortable with animals, having grown up with many, and have no problem interacting with them. I absolutely love working with children and, as I mentioned, I have experience working with very young children, having run a swim program for infants and their parents, to school aged children at the Boys & Girls Club. I also volunteered at the Boys & Girls Club as a tutor so I would be more than happy to assist children with their homework. I grew up in Montreal, Quebec and am fully bilingual in French and English. I am an incredibly passionate individual who will work hard and always bring a positive attitude to any situation. My experience working with children and my certifications make me an ideal child care provider. I would love the opportunity to put my experience to work and continue to learn more and refine my skills working with children. I really look forward to discussing my profile further with you so I can tell you more about my experience and I can get started! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, I look forward to hearing from you! :)
