Nanny in London, Ontario

When I began caring for children in their homes several years ago, I brought an artistic and creative flair to my work and knew how to safely and competently complete all childcare and household tasks. I enjoyed working with a wide range of people in various situations, such as internationally and children with special needs. With my recent positions I have proven myself to be a reliable, flexible and organized employee. My care for children is positive, warm and fun. However I always remain patient, calm and firm when needed to guide their age-appropriate and individual behaviours.
