Nanny in Toronto, Ontario

Hello and welcome to my profile! Nice to meet you!! *Currently not accepting families right now* My goal when I nanny is to make a difference in children’s lives and inspire them to be all they can be. I encourage play and self-expression, sensory games, and creating art. I believe in quality time and building skills for the future. I do not usually involve television unless it is a part of the family routine. If Television is watched while I nanny, l incorporate shows which involve movement, exercise, song, and dance while being educational. A bit about myself, I have had been lucky to have worked with children for so much of my life. With Babysitting in high school to even being a clown for children's Christmas parties! I can truly say that working with children is what makes me happiest in my life. My working background started in health care working at Sick kids hospital where I worked as a unit clerk. However, I was more than a unit clerk. I assisted the nurses with care by changing bandages, diapers, bathing and feeding. After working 8 years at Sick kids I then chose to pursue my love for art and became a makeup artist. I had an opportunity and moved to British Columbia with my husband where we owned a hair salon that offered makeup and hair services. Being a makeup artist has given me such wonderful skills which I now incorporate into my childcare. I use my skills as an artist and highly encourage play through art, crafts, and painting. I believe art is very fundamental for children. They can freely express themselves and be creative. I am a postpartum doula and end-of-life care doula. I provide care from the first breath and guide new parents on the journey of parenthood. As a end of life doula, I offer respite care, elderly care, and end-of-life planning. I help families through the grieving process and am there for the dying assuring they have all needs met before departing this world. For my Nanny experience, I have worked as a Nanny in BC and Ontario on and off for 10 years. It is my calling and true passion to help others and be of assistance to everyone who needs care. I have looked after children of all ages and am confident and comfortable with all. As a mother myself, I know how important quality care is for our children. I consider myself a holistic nanny. I believe in whole foods, creating fun healthy snacks and meals. I love cooking and preparing food. I encourage children to assist in cooking. Making muffins, washing vegetables! I believe it is important we connect with our food and learn how it nourishes our bodies. I am not a fan of sugar!!!! I love doing Yoga with children and teaching children mediation ( only if that is something you would like your children to learn.) I love animals and have no problem with them being in a home. I am very comfortable walking dogs, looking after cats. I am fine feeding snakes and lizards too. I love all of our animal friends! I can assist with after-school care, homework, taking children to classes, bedtime routines, and bathing. I am comfortable with water activities and can supervise children while swimming. With my previous experience with sick kids, I feel comfortable administering insulin and EPI pens. I am FIRST AID & CPR trained. I truly take pride in what I do, I believe children need all the love and support while giving them encouragement to succeed in everything they do. I am a very caring loving nanny who is patient, calm, and understanding. I value our parent relationships very much, I feel it is very important that we work as a team. I believe in honesty and excellent communication. I am very flexible and can adapt to any situation. Kindly to state, I am not a housekeeper, children’s care is my top priority not cleaning a house. I will gladly tidy up the dishes, fold laundry, do light vacuuming, cleaning if any spills. water plants, light housekeeping. Washing moping and cleaning floors, taking out garbage, cleaning out fridges, cleaning garbage bins, cleaning bathrooms is the job of a housekeeper. Your child’s care is most important to me and all my time will be dedicated to them. If you are interested in having me Nanny with you, I usually set up a phone call to get antiquated. I then have a meet with you and your children at your home to see how we connect and see our compatibility. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile, I very much look forward to speaking with you
