Nanny in Calgary, Alberta

I would embrace the opportunity to be a nanny/au pair/mother´s helper as I greatly enjoy working and caring for children. I have recently arrived in Calgary from Madrid, Spain and I am in Calgary one year (March 2013 - March 2014). I hope to immerse myself in Canadian culture, meet new people and work on my English. I am a positive, energetic and fun-loving person. I have worked with children of different ages for many years and love their curiosity, openness and energy. I would be happy to share my language and culture with the family with whom I work. I am responsible, organized and caring. I love working with people, especially children as they are great teachers and full of life. I look forward to hearing from you.
