Hi!
My name is Aryn,
There is nothing in the world that makes me happier than working with children. I am so excited to begin this journey in hopes of finding a lovely family I can nanny for and, become part of your child's team.
I have graduated from an Early Childhood Care and Education program and currently work in private homes. I have worked in various child care settings (camps, daycares, elementary schools, EarlyON centres, etc. ) Over the years I have gained experience working with children from birth to sixteen years old; children with special needs, at-risk families, and newcomers to Canada etc.
Please send me a message if you think I would be a good fit for you and your family :).
***Please do not hesitate to ask me to email you my resume and professional portfolio :) ***
