Nanny in Abbotsford, British Columbia

I'm an
Individual
As a parent, we have so many obligations, we may sometimes feel we're not always able to give our kids the best of us at times. Why not add an experienced, very active and loving Nana to your family's life and let me give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your children and home are well cared for while you're at work or dreaming of a little escape from parenthood for a few hours? I am the mother of 4 amazing adult children, a former foster parent and Nana to 2 beautiful granddaughters and a little grandson who arrived just recently. I coached softball for 2 years and spent 6 years as an indoor soccer coach, so I have a wealth of “real life” experience interacting with children of all ages! Past employment as a caregiver includes working for the producer of the TV series Super Girl filmed here in Vancouver. Todd is a single parent to a very sweet seven year old son. This was a full time position working 40 - 50 hours per week until May 2017. Sadly, my wonderful little family returned to the US as Todd chose not to renew his contract. Excellent reference available! I have 4 other great references: one from my "date night family" and another single parent family I managed to fit into my schedule who required overnight care up til the end of 2017. I would have continued in this position but a special guy worked his magic and convinced Trina to move to Chilliwack. Their daughter is now in Junior High and no longer needs after school care . I worked for the Hanna family from February 2018 til November of that year. At that point, Mom decided to take some downtime from work to focus on her family as her son who was 10 at that time has ADHD and was having a tough go of things at school and at home. They also have the sweetest little guy in the world who was 2 at that time. I was working 3 days per week (Tue/Wed/Fri) for an amazing family in Abbotsford but COVID changed all that and my hours were reduced quite drastically as a result. Their children are 10, 7 and nearly 4. I feel very blessed to be part of their lives! However, the reality is I couldn't sustain myself on the new schedule. I prefer to work in the Abbotsford, Aldergrove or Chilliwack area but would consider Langley. I have my own vehicle and enjoy the highest discount offered by ICBC for maintaining a perfect driving record. I also have a Childcare First Aid CPR/AED certificate that I'm about to renew now that classes have started up again I had a criminal background check, Vulnerable Sector done in January of this year that was flawless. If you are a family looking for a Nanny prepared to jump in with both feet and help simplify your life, I would love to hear from you. I'm an excellent housekeeper and while not a gourmet cook by any means, I do know how to prepare good healthy meals. I also love to bake and enjoy little helping hands who want to assist! Thanks kindly for taking the time to review this information. Miss Sandy

I loved having Sandra watch my child and was so sad to have moved away. I wished I could bring her with me!

Sandy is absolutely wonderful with our toddler. She’s intuitive, patient and kind. She teaches our son to be himself but also to have fun. She doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty, and is willing to help out. She is like a member of our family.
