Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

Rock Star Nanny seeks fun, active, Rock and Roll Family for tremendous synergy!! Dear Parents, Thank you for visiting my page and considering me for your available position. As a very engaging, warm, educated, and cultured nanny, I have been fortunate enough to work in many different environments and capacities - from high profile globe trotting families, to more modest settings, and much by the way in between. My experience, and as a result, my skill set has become quite broad. However, through my travels I have recognized that at the end of the day the greatest reward comes from the happiness and development of the children themselves. My goal is to find and work with a loving, active, inquisitive, intellectual, progressive family whose number one priority is the all-around development of their children. This family will receive a: cheerful, lively, energetic, athletic, intelligent, social and communicative caregiver; who loves to interact with children, and who is constantly cognizant of the developmental process. Experience has taught me that life is most rewarding when you tackle it with full application, and invest your skill set not only to achieve a result but to improve your person in the process. Some years ago it became clear to me that what I found most rewarding and most fulfilling was teaching, coaching and working with children. With this knowledge I decided to step out of my comfort zone and embark upon a full fledged career change. I have been working as a child care provider/nanny full time ever since. I have accumulated extensive experience working with children in a myriad of different capacities and environments over the years - Golf and tennis instruction/coaching, football coach, young athlete development strength and conditioning, extensive nanny/caregiver/household assistant experience in a wider variety of family dynamics. Professional experience in real estate: registered with the Ontario Real Estate Association and the Appraisal Institute of Canada ISSA Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach, which I applied to working with young athletes and youth teams, as well as individuals seeking better overall physical health. On a more personal level I\'m passionate about sports and athletics, and enjoy playing and following the North American big 4 as well as many others. I strive to live a healthy and active lifestyle, including daily workouts and clean, healthy but still delicious foods. Cooking and meal prep is also a priority for me. I very much enjoy reading, politics, good television, movies, pop-culture, music, the markets, derivatives. Travelling and planning a new great adventure are also very high on the list. • First Aid/CPR • Help with homework/school work/projects ect (all subjects) • Strong verbal & written communication skills • Ability to be consistent and calm, authoritative and loving • Assist in maintaining good behaviour and life skills as taught by parents. • School pick ups • After school activity drop-offs • But will not neglect to ensure the children follow through on their chores and homework obligations • I love to cook and if vegetable chopping was an Olympic sport I would medal • Health and fitness is a big part of my life and as such I have learned to cook a bevy of great tasting, healthy and nutritious meals • Light housekeeping • Laundry • Lunches • Meal Prep • Grocery Shopping • Able to plan, organise, and multi-task without supervision • Reliable, honest, and trustworthy Armed with nearly 10 years experience working as a direct child care provider and 6 additional years working with youth in a coaching and skills development capacity; I have routinely proven to be a considerable asset to the families I work with and a fun, caring, positive influence on the children. My diverse professional background is on full display when looking at the eclectic family dynamics that I have worked and thrived in; from the high profile globetrotting environment which required travel savviness and the ability seamlessly adapt and blend in with different cultures and settings, to the much more modest and all that’s in between.

As illustrated in my resume, I am highly skilled in caring for children of varying ages, including bathing, dressing, and feeding. Moreover, I am well versed in managing activities; play dates, field trips, and overnight excursions. My ability to instruct children on personal hygiene and social development and the importance of proper nutrition would bring a positive change to their development.
