I’m the mother of 4 beautiful, super sweet kiddos (age 2, 4, 6 and soon to be 10) and a childcare provider with over 15 years experience. I have been offering license not required care out of my home for many years now (and have 6 years of full-time, live-out nanny experience). I take on 1-2 children or a sibling group at a time.
I strive to provide a safe, fun, engaging and nurturing space for all the children under my care. I have standard and infant first aid/CPR, a clean driver’s abstract, and many references upon request.
I currently live in Powell River, but I’m planning to move to the Comox Valley within the next few months. Once I’m settled, I’m open to caring for children part time or full time.
My children are friendly, gentle, sweet, super fun kiddos, and they’re wonderful with babies, toddlers and really, kids of any age. During the summer months all four will be under my care, but come September, my three girls will be in school full time and I’ll just have my son under my care for most of the day.
My days with the children consist of lots of imaginative play, reading, arts and crafts, plenty of time outside, and sometimes we head over to Strong Start to play. Living a healthy, active, nature-rich lifestyle is important to me. Everyone is happier and the days run smoother when I incorporate fun adventures outside, so this means we regularly go for walks, head over to parks, the beach, etc.
I have a minivan, extra car seats and boosters, and sometimes drive the children home at the end of the day if the parents request it. I’m pretty easy going and flexible, and open to accommodating what works best for the parents I work for.
Feel free to send me a PM if you’d like connect!
Thank you,

Childcare has always been a part of my life. I am the oldest of 4 girls, so I was my mother's helper growing up. I have years upon years of babysitting experience, as well as several years of full-time live-out nanny experience. I have offered LNR childcare out of my home for the last few years. I am also a full-time mother of 4 children.
I graduated high school in 2003, and went on to study post-secondary courses in holistic nutrition and natural healing.
