I have been a nanny for about 4 years. I love being a nanny. Creating relationships with kids and watching them learn and grow is an absolute joy. I have plenty of experience with all ages and have taken care of up to 7 kids at a time. I have taken Childhood Health, Safety and Nutrition and also have my babysitting course through the red cross which includes first aid and CPR. I also took some lifeguard training. I have my full drivers licence, three 5 point carseats, 1 bucket seat and double stroller and a mini van. I As a nanny I like to do activities with the kids. I like to do things like arts and crafts, using imagination and going on fieldtrips to places like the park, strong start, tumblebums, playzone, the mall, and exploring new and fun places.

Ever since I was 10 years old I have had a love for children. I have often been called the "Best Babysitter Ever" by all of my little buddies and their parents. I am currently a part time nanny to 2 young children. I am looking for a second job so I can have full time hours. With the kids I have now we regularly go to Strong Start, the library, play groups and tumble bums for the occasional treat. I have babysat for families for up to 12 hours at a time. I have had weekly and even daily jobs in the past and would love to supply you with references at your request. At age 11, I volunteered in the nursery (0-24months) at my church, and also taught Jr. Sunday School for ages 2-3. I was successfully able to entertain them for the time needed. I have had a few part time jobs in various places and have done very well in all of them. I was the main instructer of the nursery program at camp for a week. Duties included keeping children age 5 and under busy for 2 ½ hours in the morning and 2 ½ hours in the evening. Keeping the center clean between sessions and preparing activities for the next session. This job required me to think on the spot and be creative with what I had. Activities included: Singing, Dancing, Crafts, Playing outside and stories. For the past 6 months I have been caring for 5 foster children 2 and under on Monday and Tuesday and from Wednesday to Friday I have been with 2 year old twins. The foster kids will be heading back to their family and I have some flexibility and availability in my schedule. As I am not sure what I am looking for I am open to all options. I would prefer to stay in west-shore area but will consider driving into town. Please Contact me for more information Additional Experiences/Qualifications: I would prefer to work in Westshore area but I am willing to drive into for the right family

To whom it may concern, I am pleased and honored to provide a letter of recommendation for Brittany . I first met Britt when she was in Kindergarten, when I was a volunteer in her classroom. From those first days I have known her to be a gentle, kind and intelligent individual. I became a family friend through church, and continued to witness her efforts to serve and care for others, especially as a volunteer in the nursery and in Sunday school. When she was old enough I was pleased to hire her as a sitter for my own two children. Brittany is, without a doubt, the best babysitter I have ever employed, and have missed her since her family moved away from Kamloops, although we remain in touch. She is a highly responsible young woman. I was always impressed that she took the time to play with my children and engage them in activities instead of putting on the television. She always did a great job with meals (and cleaning up) as well as taking care of the bedtime routine; from bath time and hygiene, to story reading and tucking them in safely, and having the authority to keep them in bed once she put them there. She even handled diapering and potty-training with grace. She did not shy away from learning how to use an Epipen when my oldest daughter turned out to have a peanut allergy. I am happy to recommend Brittany to you as a babysitter, or for any other position she may pursue. She is responsible and a willing learner. She is kind and trustworthy. And she?s great with kids.

Please except this letter as a reference for Brittany .Brittany has been caring for my twin toddlers since December 2011.Brittany was quickly able to establish a positive connection with my children. She is engaging and genuine in her approach with them. She is calm when dealing with a variety of behaviours and is comfortable redirecting, reassuring and leading by example. She keeps my children active throughout the day with a variety of activities such as outdoor play, community excursions and creative arts and play. She does not just observe the children at play, but rather engages and interacts with them regularly. Brittany is very respectful of the routine that I have established with my children and appears comfortable asking questions and offering suggestions based on her daily experiences with the kids. She is an exceptional communicator and goes above and beyond to send me occasional text and email check-ins and photos of their adventures. This proves to be very reassuring to me.My partner and I feel very fortunate to have Brittany caring for our children and highly recommend her services. Sincerely, Shawna Paul
