With roots in Colombia and a childhood spent immersed in diverse cultural experiences, I bring a unique perspective to childcare. Moving to a Canada at the age of 7 expanded my horizons and instilled in me adaptability and openness to new experiences. Now, at 23, I am a proud older sibling to two energetic little ones, fostering a deep appreciation for family bonds and nurturing relationships.
Beyond my family life, I am passionate about fitness and wellness, finding joy in regular workouts and swimming sessions. Being outdoors fuels my spirit, whether it's exploring forest trails or basking in the serenity of the beach. These activities not only rejuvenate me but also provide valuable opportunities for reflection and relaxation.
In childcare, my background and interests contribute to a well-rounded approach. My multicultural upbringing has honed my communication skills and sensitivity to diverse perspectives, while my love for family fosters a nurturing and supportive environment for children. Additionally, my commitment to fitness instills values of health and vitality, encouraging active lifestyles for the children under my care.
Overall, my background, family status, interests, and hobbies intertwine to shape a compassionate, adaptable, and relatable childcare provider. I am dedicated to fostering a safe, stimulating, and inclusive environment where children can thrive and grow. With a blend of cultural richness, personal passions, and professional skills, I am excited about the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of the children I care for.
During my time as a nanny and babysitter, I've cared for children in various settings, ensuring their safety, engaging them in activities, and offering emotional support. As a nanny, I tailored care plans, managed schedules, and formed strong bonds with the children. As a babysitter, I provided occasional care, organizing fun activities and assisting with tasks like bedtime routines and homework. This experience honed my skills in child supervision, communication, and problem-solving. Graduating from Western University with a major in Sociology and a minor in Biology, I'm excited to attend Teachers College next year, driven by my passion to create safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive and grow. I also enjoy incorporating outdoor play and physical activities into their routines, fostering their love for the outdoors and promoting active lifestyles.
