Nanny in Edmonton, Alberta

I'm Happy to be able to share my services and experience with a Family or Families this summer and into next year. I have been working with children for over 8 years now. I started in a Montessori Daycare then to a Waldorf inspired daycare. I went on to create my own daycare space in Montreal. It was a blend of all the practices that suited my thoughts and feelings about the development of children. It was quite busy in the city so after 2 years I decided I needed a slower pace and more nature. I moved to Edmonton and opened a daycare in the Millcreek area. It was complete with a big garden, wonderful parks and less children. It was a joy to run but I decided that I am ready to have a more flexible schedule. My intention this summer is to find one or more families that are in need of a part time nanny that I may support. During my off time I will also be developing a Coaching practice for New Families that makes use of all my many years of experience. It would be my pleasure to share with a family my many treasures I learned from meeting so many different children with their varying temperaments, interests and learning styles. I have created two very successful home learning environments. It is one my passions to create a home environment that promotes learning and responsibility. My Background before coming to childcare was in Holistic Health. I have run a kitchen in a Holistic Learning Centre where my duties included gardening, food preparation and nutrition education. I have taken massage and holistic spa therapies and completed courses in Homoeopathy and Yoga Training. I have also worked with mothers prenatally in my Yoga Practice and Doula work. My personal blend of educational and lived experiences prepared me for my work with children and has inspired my approach to childcare. I believe in creating a healthy strong foundation for a child in mind, body and heart. As a childcare provider I do that through promoting healthy eating, healthy active lifestyle, self awareness practices(yoga, dancing, breathing exercises), and approaching each child with an open mind and heart. As a teacher I look at each child in a unique and individual way. I listen and watch how the child shows me the way they learn and communicate best. It is my work to find the best ways to creatively nurture their unique nature and self through our daily activities. To see a child and family flourish in love and happiness growing together is what makes my heart it's happiest. Looking forward to hearing from and getting to know interested families, My Warmest Regards, Tara Peters
