Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

Hi, my name is Allie. I'm an easy going optimistic young lady currently living near St.Clair West. I have 7 years of experience as a nanny and 6 years experience as a swim instructor and absolutely love working with kids! I am trained in my Standard First Aid and CPR. I believe the one thing that a care giver needs above all else is organization, patience and needs to be optimistic. Children need to have a sense of stability, but also need to be allowed to have a bit of freedom in their own actions as well. A successful caregiver needs to be able to give individual attention to each child, and then also as a group, making each child feels special. Naturally, every family is different and every child reacts differently- so I believe friendship is key. Gaining the trust and respect of the child is most important... If a child doesn't respect you, they rarely listen to you. I believe everyday a child can learn just as easily as they play. I love dancing, hiking, swimming, reading, traveling, running, gardening, photography, yoga, meditating and painting. My favorite places around the city are high park, Toronto island, and the AGO.
