Nanny in Ottawa, Ontario

I'm an
Individual
I am currently seeking evening and overnight babysitting. I would particularly like regular times during the month. I am a 23 year old psychology graduate. I work as an Instructor Therapist at a center for children on the autism spectrum. I am punctual, responsible, organised, flexible and fun. I am capable of maintaining control over more than one child at a time, and I have confidence in my ability to keep children safe and entertained. I specifically have experience babysitting children aged 10 months to 8 years, as well as experience tutoring children aged 8 to 15. I have experience with intellectual disabilities and autism, and am willing to work with other physical and mental disabilities. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified. I can communicate fluently in English (my first language) and reasonably well in French (my second language). In addition to child care, I am willing and able to perform housekeeping duties when possible. I understand the need for a child care worker to be professional and reliable, and to communicate well with parents/guardians and other caregivers. I am willing to engage in the methods of discipline used by the parent or guardian, with the exception of physical force. I also understand the need for the child care worker to be a role model for the child or children under their care, and how strongly my influence is felt by them. Finally, I am willing to work with families of all dynamics, including married or unmarried partnerships, separated or divorced families, partners of the same gender and of any abilities, ethnicities, or religious beliefs. Thank you for your time and good luck finding the perfect caregiver for your family! Regards, Catherine -I have 6 years of tutoring experience with children between the ages of 8 and 15.
