Nanny in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Over the past three years I have worked and volunteered with youth, through these opportunities I have developed many important skills which include; accurate multitasking, adaptable interpersonal communication, efficient organization and compassionate but effective problem solving. My past experiences have involved working with children with disabilities, such as ADD, ADHD and autism. These experiences have provided me with a great deal of patience as well as communication skills with people from all walks of life. I am also very efficient and well organized, as many of these positions have included daily paperwork requirements.I am looking to enhance my abilities in working with children as well as expand the areas in which I have experience Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
