I have extensive experience both within the childcare industry (daycare, nanny) as well as supervisory positions within youth group homes as a Child Youth Worker and Developmental Service agencies. I also have numerous years experience working with exceptional children and adults. I have three grown daughters of my own, and we lead a very strong family-oriented lifestyle. I love working with children of all ages. I encourage reading, art, music, and all kinds of outdoor activities. I love teaching not only through traditional learning programs, but also through regular life skills (such as science and math learned through baking and gardening; drama from storytelling and dress-up, etc) I am happily able to provide weekly plans and daily logs. I enjoy utilizing the local library, community centre and playgroups. After years of frontline service, I am looking to return to private nanny/private family supports/house management.
