Nanny in Peterborough, Ontario

Hi there! My name is Martine and I'm in my fourth year of studying Indigenous Environmental Sciences at Trent. I'm currently working as an outdoor educator, but I'm interested in getting to work more one-on-one with a family as well. I am looking for a part-time position that could range from 5-25 hours a week. My passion is working with youth in creating holistic, self-directed learning opportunities. I have pursued and developed my mentorship skills through volunteering and working in many different educational settings, including full-day arts and farm camp programs; a democratic day and boarding school; and all-seasons outdoor play and nature connection programming. Some of my specific skills include designing and implementing outdoor adventures and storytelling. I have had the chance to work on land-based skills, such as tracking, plant identification, shelter building, and sensory awareness. If the children are interested in exploring some of these skills/activities more in-depth, I'd be happy to create a program at your home or even go on trips nearby. My interests are: growing my own food, raising chickens, knitting, painting, singing, dancing, alternative education, and learning at all times! Please feel free to message me if you have any questions, if you'd like a copy of my resume, or references.
