I am looking for a summer position where I am able to be involved in children’s physical, emotional, cognitive, and social development as a creative, resourceful Nanny utilizing my dedication to children’s development. I have just completed my Undergrad at Western University where I attained an Honors Specialization in Childhood and Social Institutions with a Minor in Disability Studies. Before returning to school in September to begin Teacher’s College I am looking for a Summer Position working with children as a Nanny. Prior to graduating from Western, I completed an Early Childhood Education Diploma at Fanshawe College where I gained a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge working with a variety of different aged children through various placements. Throughout my past experiences I have developed many key strengths that will allow me to excel in this job opportunity. I have also gained strong communication skills while working with mentors, fellow co-workers and of course parents and children. I am a very hard working individual, and I am one who will always display quality performance in all of my assigned tasks. I am an enthusiastic, nurturing, reliable individual who has a true love for working with children and I can promise you that your children will have smiles and a variety of stories to share at the end of each day.
