Nanny in Guelph, Ontario

Hello, my name is Eden and I am a third year psychology student at the University of Guelph. I am looking for a job working with children because I absolutely enjoy working with them, and my past experiences working in a group home and at an Outdoor Education Centre has given me the tools to be confident in my ability to care for youth. I love to have fun and I have a passion for sharing any fun experience with the youth I work with. I truly believe that children benefit greatly from healthy and constant interactions with the caregivers in their lives and I am more than willing to help any family fill their child\'s environment with rich and diverse stimulating experiences to help them develop to their full potential. I have worked in a residential group home caring for girls ages 11-16. Here I have gained tremendous experience in collaborative problem solving, mentoring, and confidently handling stressful situations. My duties also included cleaning, and food prep for the girls. At most I have worked with 6 girls on my own, which has given me excellent time management skills and the ability to prioritize. I am firm but fair when it comes to reinforcing rules and boundaries, and I am able to clearly explain why certain rules are in place so the child is able to understand why they are not able to do something.
