Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

Hey there! I'm Jessica, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself to you. I'm a passionate childcare worker with 10 years of experience, starting from when I was just 14 years old. Working with children has been my true calling, and I absolutely love what I do! Currently, I am ideally looking for a long-term position as a babysitter or nanny. I'm open to both part-time and full-time work, and I genuinely enjoy building a strong connection with one family. Creating a nurturing and supportive environment for children is something I take great pride in. Let me share a little more about myself. I'm currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Sociology with a special interest in child psychology at the esteemed University of Toronto. Education has always been important to me, and I've excelled academically. In fact, I finished high school with a 95 average and have maintained a strong 3.8 GPA throughout my undergraduate studies. I have a range of subjects that I genuinely enjoy, including English, Art, Psychology, History, and Philosophy. If your child needs any help with basic subjects, I'm more than happy to provide tutoring. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have a number of hobbies that seamlessly blend into my childcare work. First and foremost, I adore reading books. As a former camp counselor, I've spent countless hours reading captivating children's stories to my campers. It's always been a joy for me to encourage them to read along with me or explore the pages on their own. I'm also a huge fan of arts and crafts, staying up to date with the latest DIY trends that pop up on Pinterest. Lastly, cooking is one of my greatest passions. With experience working at a catering company and as a Starbucks barista, I've honed my skills in food safety. I'm also well-versed in cooking delicious and healthy plant-based meals, should your child follow a vegan or vegetarian diet. Now, let's talk about the services and training I bring to the table. Currently, I am CPR and First Aid Certified, ensuring that I can handle any unexpected situations that may arise. I'm more than happy to prepare meals and snacks for your child, assist with homework, pick them up from school or daycare, accompany them to extracurricular activities within walking distance, and spend quality time playing with them at parks, public kids' pools, or with their favorite toys. I'm also open to light housekeeping, running errands, and grocery shopping if needed. While I feel most comfortable caring for children aged 6 months to 14 years, I'm always willing to learn and adapt to the needs of a newborn. It's important for me to find a family that is willing to guide me through their routine and provide the necessary support. To give you a glimpse of my childcare experience, here are some highlights: ♡ CPR AND First Aid Certified ♡ Food Safety Trained ♡ I've been a babysitter for multiple families with children aged 6Mos-1, 6, 8, and 12 from 2014 to 2023. ♡ As a Camp Counselor at Ontario Pioneer Camp, I had the pleasure of working with children from 2016 to 2020. ♡ Additionally, I volunteered at Montrose Public School for Extracurricular Classes such as Dance, Sports, and Beginners Portuguese from 2013 to 2020. ♡ I nearly became a lifeguard after taking swimming classes for 8 years!
