Nanny in Burlington, Ontario

Hello, My name is Caitlin Gilligan and I am 20 years old. I just finished my second year of University. I attend Plattsburgh State University in New York where I am majoring in Early Childhood Education as well as playing on the women\'s Ice Hockey Team. I am looking to maintain a full-time position in child care this summer until I go back to school (August 23rd) however part-time will suffice. I truly do enjoy working with children as I one day hope to become a teacher. I am hard working, dedicated, and committed to any an all responsibilities. I am able to resolve conflicts and face any adversity thrown my way. I am willing to do light house cleaning and moderate cooking. Please feel free to contact me.
