Nanny in Delta, British Columbia

I'm an
Individual
NO LONGER AVAILABLE Looking for PART-TIME (2-3 days per week) LONG TERM work in DELTA/RICHMOND with flexible start date in Fall 2020. Currently, I am completing my Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine and preparing for board and licensing exams. I would like to join a family part-time as I start up my naturopathic medical practice. I prefer scheduled work days and nanny days for weekly structure; however, starting off, my schedule will be more flexible. I have been responsible for children from the ages of 3 months to 14 years. I work with parents to plan daily activities like adventuring outdoor and recipe testing in the kitchen. Arts and crafts are also an area of expertise. In any way I can, I like incorporating learning into fun daily activities. I am organized and enjoy researching health and education for growing kiddos! Education & Certifications - Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (in progress) - Bachelor's of Arts & Sciences (senior thesis "Bridging the gap between health literacy and health literature with children's books). - First Aid Health Care Practitioner & CPR Level 3 - Babysitter's License - Food Safe Certification Since you (as a parent/guardian/caregiver) are looking for someone that will be responsible for your child's/ children's well-being, I would also like to know what families I am working with. As such, please provide: - family situation (i.e. occupations, single parent, co - parent) - location - scheduling/ time expectations Extensive resume and references available upon request. Note: Due to current covid-19 precautions, I am not taking occasional babysitting bookings to minimize spread and allow parents that I will work for a sense of security and calm. Once risks are low, I can be requested for on-call babysitting with Nannies-On-Call.

Patricia has a natural talent for engaging, talking, and playing with my two kids. She always comes on time and is always prepared with activities. She is flexible with my children's requests while still following the house rules/directions. My kids love Patricia and are excited to hang out with her (which makes it easier for us to leave). You can tell that she enjoys watching kids and isn't just another "job" for her. She is constantly interacting with them whether it be playing a board game, asking them questions, baking with them, playing dress up or anything my kids' imagination takes them. She is the best one out there! You won't regret hiring Patricia.

We had the great pleasure of having Patricia work for our family for three summers, as a caregiver for our son. At the time, our son was 7 and 8 years old. He still asks about her, and she was his absolute favorite caregiver. We found Patricia to be very reliable – she was always on time, wrote up summaries of the day’s experiences, clearly communicated in advance when she needed to take a day off. She was also very creative, and had a lot of initiative, coming up with all kinds of activities to do each day. From art to baking to building, she always had something ready to do to keep the day fun and engaging. Patricia has a lot of energy, a great sense of humor, and a never-ending smile. We found her a lot of fun to be around as well as a responsible adult. We would hire her again in a heartbeat – and in fact, have tried. Our conflicting schedules and our need for a longer time commitment have been the only barriers. We wish Patricia all the best in finding a good family match. And for the family that secures Patricia as a nanny – you won’t find a better caregiver for your children.

I am pleased to recommend Patricia Wu as a wonderful caregiver for children. I have known Patricia since 2008, and she has periodically cared for our children throughout their lives from when they were as young as 2 years old to present day (ages 6 and 7 years old). She is creative, warm, caring, firm, and attentive, and the children love having time with her. Patricia has a number of activities that I have seen her engage in with the children, depending on their interest and age-appropriateness. Sometimes, she takes them outside for bike rides or outdoor playing whereas other times, she is working on craft projects with them or playing games indoors. She often brings her own materials and generously lets the children play with and keep her supplies. In addition to her focus on children through fun and educational activities, she is attentive to the parents' needs as well. Patricia listens carefully to what the parents requests are, whether it is about meal/bed/play time routines, rules that need to be followed, or special circumstances for the day; for example, we request that she speaks to our children in Mandarin Chinese and let her know what snacks the children are allowed to have. She cleans up after the activities so there is no additional mess for the parents, and she encourages the children to be tidy and observant of the rules. In sum, Patricia is an exemplary caregiver, working well with both children and parents, and I am happy to recommend her services to any family seeking excellent care for their children.
