Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

My name is Christine and I hope you have enjoyed my profile! I am a recent graduate of the University of Toronto, where I received a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in English and Philosophy. I am an aspiring writer, poet and teacher and I hope to study Creative Writing and English at the Masters level before pursuing a career in teaching and writing. I am currently taking a year off from my studies to work, read as much as I can, and experience everything Toronto has to offer! I live in Little Portugal/the West End and I love biking, yoga, running, travel, cooking, baking and spending time with family and friends. Food and books are two of my greatest passions, both as social and solitary pursuits. I enjoy doing all kinds of activities with kids, from outdoor adventures to indoor educational games. I think that a caregiver requires a certain spirit for life and excitement for the world, qualities I hope to exemplify in my work with children. I hope to hear from you soon! I began babysitting children in my neighbourhood in middle school and continued to work for parents through high school. I joined two volunteer clubs in high school that were related to childcare. The first was an after school program in Oakville, the second was a "buddy"/mentoring program for high school students with special needs. I have also tutored children at a variety of academic levels, including elementary and high school.
