Nanny in Vancouver, British Columbia

Hello! My name is Olivia. I am a caring, responsible young woman with years of childcare experience who is looking for the right family to work with for at least one year. I am currently teaching kindergarten in Thailand until August of 2013 when I will return home to Canada. I would ensure that your child or children have a safe and comfortable environment to grow and develop in their own unique way. I would bring extra joy into your children's lives and help them discover new things everyday! I strongly believe in open communication between parents, children, and the childcare provider at all times and would be a trustworthy addition to your family :). Over the past years I have gained priceless experience working hands on with kids of many ages. On the emotional side I have learned how to handle tough situations such as tantrums, upset children, disagreements between children, and soothing babies! On the more technical end of childcare I have inquired the skills to handle children with slight disabilities, appropriate discipline methods, proper care of young infants, teaching children new words and concepts, safety precautions and first aid in play and learning situations, and communication with parents about their children's progress or areas of concern. •Eight years of babysitting experience for children ages 5 months to 10 years old •Nanny experience for multiple families, duties included light housekeeping, meals, morning and nighttime routines, ages 17 months to 6 years old •Teaching experience kindergarten ages 3 to 6 years old, private tutoring ages 4 to 6 years old •Experienced in leading activities, teaching arts and crafts to kids, handling tantrum situations and arguments between children, ensuring a safe atmosphere for play and growth
