I am a recent graduate from the University of Victoria. I come from a large family and have been around young children my whole life. Every summer I have moved down to my summer cabin where I lived with my cousins (the youngest is now 5) and spent a lot of time helping. my aunts and uncles to take care of them.
I have several years of experience working with children both as a baby sitter and a swim instructor. I taught swimming for six years with kids ranging in age from 1.5- 16 and I have baby sat children ranging in age form newborn- 12. I love working with kids, I always have. I quite enjoy watching them grow and just enjoying life.
