Nanny in Calgary, Alberta

I'm an
Individual
I grew up in a small town just 3 hours from Calgary called Invermere. Originally from Toronto, I made the decision to try out the city life again moving to Calgary about 2 years ago. I have always had a passion for children, especially growing up with an older sibling that has 4 children of her own...and a constant need for a babysitter. I truly love it. Nannying seemed like the perfect field of work to get into, I love meeting new families and seeing how they work together to get through each day, it's always different, and always interesting to me. My most recent position was working for an amazing family in the SW. They have two daughters aged 1 & 5 and a son aged 11. I was with them full time living out since January 4th 2017 until March 2018. When the position came to an end due to the mom reducing her work to PT, I decided to take a short break for the summer but am now ready to find another family :) I have many years of experience and plenty of strong references, as well as reference letters - feel free to ask me about them :) I have worked with infant twins and triplets, along with their slightly older siblings. Big families & small, single parents, and blended families. I have my CPR/ First Aid, a clean driving record and license (just lacking a vehicle), and a clean criminal record check. Looking for full time work and a fun-loving family, I would love to hear from you if you think I may be a potential fit to your family :)

Kalyn has not only been a lifesaver for our family over the past 8 months she's been an adored member of our extended family. She is an absolute natural with children, providing exceptional care for our three kids ages 11, 5 and 1 year old (and our 2-year-old puppy). Whether it's helping with homework, organizing a trip to the zoo, arts & crafts time or exercise time in the form of yoga or a dance party, Kalyn keeps the kids busy, entertained and off the screens! She also completely manages the household when we're working, preparing healthy meals and snacks for the kids (and often times the whole family), arranging play dates and taking on house chores like laundry, organizing and light cleaning. She is great with our littlest one - ensuring she's getting all the right nutrition, interaction, snuggles and rest that she needs as she thrives from baby to toddler. I would recommend Kalyn to anyone and would be happy to speak with any prospective employers directly.

Kalyn did a fantastic job taking care of our three young children. She was excellent at organizing and doing crafts with the kids and engaging in activities that each of them enjoyed. She developed a special bond with our 5-year old daughter by teaching her how to rollerblade. She arranged an extra special birthday for our 8-year old son taking him to Callaway Park and Swimming. And while playing with our older two, she was fantastic at getting our youngest (2 years old) involved too. She prioritized the kids and ensured that they had a wonderful time while my wife and I were at work. I would highly recommend her for a nannying position.

Kalyn was nanny for our 3 & 5 year old this summer part time. She was awesome. Our very shy 3 year old took to her very quickly (day 1!) and the kids had activities and outings planned each day. Kalyn was great for our family this year, she has been flexible, hard working, responsible and has the energy to keep up with our busy kids. I highly recommend her as a care giver.
