Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

I'm an
Individual
Hello my name is Carolyn. I'm a nanny who is flexible and look forward to helping your family. Hope to talk to you soon if you are interested. I am looking to secure a Live Out position to start in August or September although i am flexible to a degree. I am happy to relocate. I am a 42 year old female who has over 30 years of experience with children. I have been in Toronto since August of 2017 on a visitor visa. I currently don't have a permit or visa to allow me to work in Canada but I intend (with assistance from my employer) to obtain all required paperwork. I have looked after children between the ages of 1 month to 16 years, I have been a certified first aider but would need to renew to obtain a Canadian certification. I recently completed a British Sign Language course so am able to communicate to a certain degree, but aware that American Sign Language is used in Canada. My most relevant paid experience was in a primary school and was responsible for 4 autistic boys aged 6 & 7. I was in charge of the daily care while school, aiding them in their studies, helping them behaviorally to ensure they were able to cope with the situations that faced them. The work was challenging and very emotional but also very rewarding. In my most recent un-paid experience I looked after 3 children aged 3,5 & 9, I was responsible for the general well-being, meals, helping with reading, homework and the bedtime routine and playing games both educational and fun. I have my G2 licence. I am very comfortable with pets of all kinds, I have a cat, have owned dogs, guinea pigs and hamsters. In addition to my experience with children and animals i also have personal experience with medical conditions in adults namely MS and Alzheimer disease.

Carolyn Young is very conscientious, always on time and accommodating. Our kids loved to be with her and she embraces and encourages their creativity. We never felt any reservations leaving the kids with her and would highly recommend her to any family.

I lived with Carolyn in Inverness, Scotland. I met her through an advert so we were strangers when we started living together! Carolyn is an incredibly kind and caring person who is always thinking of others. During the time we lived together, we became good friends and adopted a rescue dog called Tyro. Carolyn adored Tyro and showed incredible patience when trying to support him at times of separation when he would howl with anxiety. She was always making incredible stews or home baking and introduced me to a few good box sets including Criminal Minds. She enjoys the simple things in life such as time with family and lovely walks in the country. She is easy company and always putting others first. I hope she enjoys her new life in Canada and wish her all the best :)
