Nanny in Truro, Nova Scotia

Hi. My name is Charlsie and I am a 23-year-old woman looking for work as a nanny in Canada. I was born and raised in Truro, a mid-sized and centrally located town in Nova Scotia. From the time I was 8 years old, I have been taking care of others. My parents divorced while I was still in elementary school, and from that point I was the sole female role model and caregiver for my younger sister. Because of my situation when I was young, I have developed a strong sense of responsibility and conscientiousness. My family situation molded me into an independent, hard-working, loving and caring individual who my friends and family describe as a \"nurturer\" and \"natural-born caregiver\". I graduated high school with honors in 2009, and from there I went to the University of Prince Edward Island. While there, I studied a Comparative Religion, with a concentration in Eastern Traditions and I minored in Anthropology. From my studies there, I gained an understanding of all types of people, all over the world, and learned about different types of cultures and how they develop. Unfortunately, due to financing, I was not able to finish my degree, but the knowledge I acquired from the experience is something I view as priceless. I have a wide range of interests, from martial arts to painting and knitting. I have a black belt in Uechi Ryu Karate, which has made me a very focused and confident person. Because of my years in karate, I am able to protect myself and others in dangerous situations, and keep calm and productive in any emergency. On the other side of the coin, I enjoy art and it\'s creation, and have sold paintings at local markets, along with other crafts. I play the bass guitar, sing, and understand basic music theory. I love reading and writing, and you can always find a book or a note pad with me where ever I go. I am a caring, genuine person who gives my all in everything that I do. I love children and pets, and seem to easily develop a lasting report with them. I have babysat in the past, ran children\'s plays, taught karate classes for kids at my dojo, and have spent my life trying to make a difference in young people\'s lives. I even learned how to puppeteer while volunteering at children\'s summer camps. I am gentle and kind, but know how to take control of a situation when need be. I believe that children need strong role models and I would love to be able to make a difference in your family\'s life. Thank you for your interest. Please feel free to contact m if you have any questions at all. My experience with child-care has been pervasive throughout most of my life. I spent most of my youth taking care of my younger sister from wake-up until bed-time, getting her ready for school, getting breakfast ready, making lunch, taking her to the bus stop, and retrieving her after school. After school, I would prepare supper, do the cleaning and dishes, and help her with home work. Outside of home life, I was a tutor for math while in high school, and helped a young man in grade 9 pass his exam and continue to the next grade. I babysat for family friends and helped teach the youth classes at my karate club. I volunteered many summers to children's camps, and have organized community plays and musicals, which involved kids as well. I will provide your children with a fun, nurturing and educational environment. I am easily approachable, but also understand the necessity of constructive discipline. I understand that each family is different and that parents have the right to raise their children in the way they see fit, and I will respect any limitations or requests that you have.
