Nanny in Ottawa, Ontario

• Patient, Honest, Reliable and Hard Working • Polite, Punctual and Dependable • Outgoing and enjoy working with people, children in particular • Willing and Eager to Learn Hi there. My name is Melissa Hornby and I am a third year university student. I have extensive experience working with children of all ages, starting from my high school days as a babysitter for kids in my neighbourhood. In addition, my child caring skills have been put to use through years of being a caretaker at the nursery and Sunday School at my local church, being a mentor for autistic teenagers, participating in a PenPal program with elementary students, being a camp councillor with the City of Ottawa and volunteering at an orphanage in Ecuador. I have always found a passion for working with children and love caring for them. I am reliable, hard working, patient and honest. I also have excellent communication and organisational skills and thrive to provide a positive and happy environment for children. I will be returning from a year abroad in Ecuador in the middle of April and am eager to get back to the work that I am passionate about. If you are interested in my advertisement I would welcome the opportunity to exchange emails, and once I return to Ottawa I would welcome the opportunity to meet you and your family to discuss the position further.
