Nanny in Windsor, Ontario

I have extensive experience working with children, especially school-aged and I have a solid knowledge of how to plan activities that are both enjoyable and educational. I recently completed a Health and Physical Education Course which taught me how to play games with limited resources and space to improve movement skills and keep children active while still having fun!
