Nanny in Vancouver, British Columbia

I'm an
Agency / Company
I am a 27 year old Irish girl moving to Vancouver in August this year (2016). Having spent 6 months working as a nanny in New Zealand in 2014, I am keen to repeat this experience in Canada as I enjoyed it so much. I hold an IEC Working Holiday visa meaning I am authorised to work in Canada on arrival. A little about me: I grew up on a dairy farm in the West of Ireland and come from a close family. Having moved out at 19, I studied Environmental Management at university and subsequently worked in the environmental sector before taking a year out to travel and work in New Zealand. Arriving home in March 2015 I’ve been working as an Environmental Officer at a local organisation, and have been enjoying some time at home catching up with family and friends. I’ve always wanted to experience life in Canada and now feel it’s time for another adventure! My 2 year IEC working holiday visa has been granted and have booked a flight to Vancouver arriving 22nd August. Previous experience: While in New Zealand I was a nanny for 3 lively kids aged 6, 10 and 12 outside Auckland city. I was responsible for their care from breakfast time until their parents arrived home in the evening, and occasionally overnight at weekends. Responsibilities included: • Taking children to and from school, appointments and extracurricular activities; • Household management – laundry, tidying, cleaning; • Meal preparation – breakfast, pack-lunches and dinner; • Teaching, instilling morals and resolving disagreements among the kids; • Entertaining and having fun - I love to bake and really enjoyed teaching the children some simple recipes. Hobbies and interests: I have a keen interest in agriculture and the outdoor life. Horse riding and horses are my passion, but I love all animals. My spare time at home is spent with family, working on the farm, going for hikes and daytrips, organising dinners, reading and baking. I love to travel and learn about different countries and cultures. Why do I want to be an nanny in Canada? I loved my experience in New Zealand. Living with a family from the country meant I learned about the culture and gave me an insight into real kiwi life. I also love children, and surprisingly quite enjoy housework!
