Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

Greetings! My name is Mercedes, and I'm excited to introduce myself as a recent graduate from the University of Guelph, where I majored in Psychology with a minor in Business. I am currently on the lookout for a fulfilling full-time/part-time babysitting role that allows me to channel my passion for nurturing children's growth and fostering their curiosity. As a caregiver, I bring a blend of responsibility, gentleness, kindness, and playfulness that not only creates a fun atmosphere but also ensures a secure and caring environment. Friends and acquaintances often commend me for my wonderful personality and the natural rapport I share with children. Having spent my formative years in Montessori schools, I've imbibed values like respect, resourcefulness, and the importance of learning within a diverse age group. This invaluable experience has taught me how to set clear boundaries that contribute to a joyful and conducive learning environment. My journey with children extends across diverse roles - from being a dedicated child minder during my teenage and university years, to venturing as an Au-Pair in vibrant Barcelona at 18. Additionally, I've served as an assistant coach in karate and even excelled as a certified swim instructor and lifeguard in Toronto, reflecting my commitment to safety and skill-building. I hold a black belt in karate and possess up-to-date certifications in CPR and first aid. Additionally, I am well-regarded as a swim instructor, reflecting my commitment to enhancing health and safety awareness. This commitment was further solidified through my adherence to pandemic protocols during my tenure with the City of Toronto. I'd be more than thrilled to share my resume, police check, and an impeccable list of references that can vouch for my dedication and professionalism. Feel free to reach out with any inquiries you may have. Thank you for considering me to be a part of your child's journey. Wishing you a wonderful day ahead! Warmly, Mercedes
