Nanny in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Dear families and care givers, Hello! I have worked with many children and adults typical and not, I am looking for a small job to pair with my creative and active life, and to give me more experience working with children and adults of any capabilities! I have worked with a variety of children and adults with singular and multiple physical and mental impairments, and it is my passion. Being able to provide relief for the family and bring joy and a sense of independence for the people who I work with is my motivation. I pride myself in being able to adapt to new situation quickly and to be able to connect with any individual to assist with their personal needs and provide them with quality care and support. Most of my experience is working with people on the autism spectrum, but I have worked with many others including but not limited to people with schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD, epilepsy etc. I look forward to hearing from you!
