My name is Veronica and I am an educator with experience taking care of children. I am from Sierra Leone and I have my undergraduate degree in literature and I have taught children from elementary to high school. I also babysat during my undergraduate years and I am a mother of a 4year old as well. I am new to Canada and looking to help a family with the demands of parenting. I provide a safe space for children to thrive and engage them in play based activities. I also like taking care of babies. I am able to help with household chores as well in addition to child care. I am looking for a live in/live out position and is open to both full, casual and part time employment. I do not drive at the moment.
