Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

Exceptional interpersonal skills in more than 4 years of caring for a very versatile, sharp minded lady, who was formerly a financial planner, catering to her needs, keeping up and meeting her rather high expectations considering that she was the head of her own company. The value of patience, understanding, and the confidence to interact with other people were developed and improved through more than 10 years in my first job as a teacher dealing with students, colleagues, and parents and guardians. In all those years I have delivered quality service in providing good education and the best care to the students of an international/private school. An effective communicator with a good command of the English language proves to be a good asset in dealing with my Canadian client/employer and her family, and in constant correspondence and regular interaction with her medical and healthcare team composed of her doctors, and physical and occupational therapist. Fluency was acquired due to the strict implementation of the English-speaking policy, especially most effective in the subjects I taught - Science and Mathematics. Mastery of time and classroom management gained through a long time of teaching experience which on the other hand I am able to apply at a home setting not only as a caregiver, but also as a personal assistant, multi-tasking in catering to my employers financial, social, medical and healthcare needs; which is also an important asset in caring for children in their growing up years Effectively planning and organizing my clients dietary needs, medical and healthcare appointments and schedules, travel and social activities as she is a well traveled woman, and bringing me with her on her trips provided me with a deeper appreciation and understanding of a vast and diverse country and a better perspective in life. The need to be attentive to details is very vital especially with the clients medical and healthcare issues. Being a good and effective head as the schools Science Coordinator, with more than enough experience in Science fairs/projects and activities reaching as far as national level competitions was a very good training for me to become an effective planner and organizer. Satisfactory computer proficiency with substantial experience in the use of MS Office Word, MS Office PowerPoint, and MS Office Excel in meeting the expectations of my client being also her personal assistant helping her organize her financial affairs and assist her with her obligations in the organizations she belong and still very much active with. I learned and mastered these applications as a teacher even under time pressure in accomplishing school requirements like tests, narratives, lesson plans, lectures and presentations, and in computing the grades of the students, could be effective in keeping up with the younger generation and in helping them with their school work.
