Nanny in St. Catharines, Ontario

I am a former Early Childhood Educator with over 11 years experience in Child care. (Not including the many years of babysitting.) Canadian citizen, educated in British Columbia, I live in the St Catharines area. I have had my Emergency First Aid and Police Check done in the past, and am in the process of renewing them. I have a Portfolio and Many letters of reference, my resume is below. I am also a cartoon/comic book/music aficionado, so I invariably know everything your children are interested in. This goes a long way towards knowing what's appropriate for them to consume and for us to be able to relate to each other. What sets me apart is my passion for this vocation. I am invested and it shows. Lastly I studied and believe in the Reggio Emilia theories of childcare. Which is very child oriented, where every moment is a teachable moment and first and foremost respects the child and their specific capabilities. I look forward to meeting you, thank you for reading this. :) HIGHLIGHTS OF QUALIFICATIONS • Qualified Early Childhood Educator with more than 11 years of experience in the field • Capable of working alone as well as in a team environment.
