Nanny in Fort McMurray, Alberta

As an artful person I engage children in an open and encouraging way to reinforce voice, and creativity and build self esteem. A focus on interactive activities based upon interest will develop skills and independence, and allow free-expression of the child\'s imagination. I want to support the family\'s values while maintaining a fun learning atmosphere that is diverse and respectful. Thank you. I have had various roles guiding seven -23 children ages three-fourteen in art, language, and encouraging voice through game play and story telling. Positions as an Early Childhood Educator (substitute), Art Instructor, Instructor's Assistant, and Studio Assistant have provided me with a foundation to engage with diverse people and Cultures an inclusive way. I have planned and organized workshops and prepared materials for large and small-group activities that developed fine motor and social skills. Ensured physically and emotionally safe environments for open play and expression. Other duties involved: Cleaning and maintaining equipment/play area. Discussing and documenting daily events, activities, schedules and child progression and redirecting behaviour to focus on what is available to a child. Reinforcing learning through activities guided by child interests
