Nanny in Richmond, British Columbia

If you are currently in search of a consistent and experienced babysitter or temporary adult guardian, I am a suitable candidate for your needs. I have extensive babysitting experience as well as outdoor supervision training in settings as varied as swimming pools, public parks, schools, and group activities. I enjoy providing children and young teenagers with the tools to learn new language and arithmetic skills, to discover the benefits and fun aspects of physical activity (outdoor), and to limit their dependence on electronic outlets for entertainment. Most of all, I am a friend and mentor who acts as an auxiliary to the childrens\' parents, following their guidelines with meticulous care while promoting a relaxed and enjoyable environment for their kids. I have cared for children of all ages, though primarily in the 5-12 range. I have also supervised adolescents at the request of parents on a contractual basis. My primary focus, after the safety of the children under my care, is their intellectual and physical well-being. Accordingly, I follow parents\' guidelines with respect to nutrition and permissible forms of entertainment (television, video game devices) and promote group activities such as board games, spelling & light arithmetic activities, and light exercise (when appropriate) as a means to direct their energies toward constructive activities. I am as comfortable preparing meals as I am reading stories or answering questions on any topic that is age-appropriate. Most of all, I have a warm disposition and children do not find it difficult to trust and enjoy my company.
