Nanny in Vancouver, British Columbia

I am a fun, loving, responsible, caring, energetic, and nurturing individual, who is looking for a loving family to let me become part of their family for the next few months. I believe that manners and self-sufficiency are very important to foster in young people as it allows them to grow to become respectful and independent. As such these are qualities i aim to foster in the children i look after. However, at the same time I also love to encourage playfulness by playing games, doing craft and going out for activities. I would describe myself as dependable, honest, and trustworthy and I have experience in healthy meal/snack preparation for younger children. Further I hold a Bachelor degree in Psychology and so through this understanding of developmental stages I am able to help teach children new concepts and to find new and fun ways to help them learn. Looking forward to meeting you and your family. Over the last 3 years I have been both a part-time nanny and regular casual babysitter for children ranging from 3 months to 10 years.
