Nanny in Vancouver, British Columbia

My name is Clara, born in Spain, however I have grown up in 5 different countries therefore I have been immersed in different cultures and ways of living. My multiculturalism has allowed me to learn a few languages, being totally bilingual. I am very adaptable and enjoy being around people especially kids. I have been working with children from a very young age and I enjoy seeing them develop and grow into little independent individuals. My experience goes from coaching children of all ages in many sports such as gymnastics, multi- sport programs, basketball and athletics. I also volunteered at a nursery in my home country for 4 years. I have been babysitting several different families throughout Vancouver for more than a year. I am studying at UBC a bachelors of Kinesiology therefore I believe keeping kids active is a large part in their development. I am also doing a nutrition minor therefore I also believe that healthy but fun and tasty food is the best type of food. I get along with all ages and I am able to adapt to take care of more than one child of different or same ages at once. I am very outgoing and have always had positive experiences with all children! Can\'t wait to meet your little ones! *Gymnastics coaching with DuGym, Dubai, U.A.E 2008/201... -Gymnastics coach -Ages: 9-11 boys and girls -Location: Dubai, UAE -Responsibilities: making sure children had fun, learnt to understand and listen to instructions and learnt new skills *Gymnastics coaching with DuGym (focus on an autistic child), Dubai, U.A.E 2008/200... -Personal Gymnastics Coach-focused on an autistic child -Age: 10 -Location: Dubai, UAE -Responsibilities: Be there for support for the child in order for the child to take part in the class.
