I was born in Colombia. Have lived in Montreal for 26 years. Have two adult daughters.. I live in NDG with my husband and our youngest daughter. For 17 years (1998-2014) I had a home babysitting service at my house, where I cared for 3 babies at a time. They usually started at 6-10 months of age and spent one or two years with me before moving on to a larger daycare. I can provide many excellent references. -- I am looking for work as a caregiver or companion and helper to an elderly person. I am honest, hard-working and efficient. Please be aware that I have some allergies to cats and dogs, so I may not be able to work in a house that has these pets, depending on type of pet and amount of allergens. Please note that I speak French (and of course Spanish) much better than English, and that this description has been translated for me by my daughter.

During seventeen years I had a babysitting service at my house. I cared for 3 babies at a time, from 8am to 6pm. I have very much experience with young children and can provide excellent references. I believe that young children need affection and structure in order to feel secure and happy.

After High School in my country, I took a course in caring for people with diabetes. This included measuring insulin levels, injecting insulin when necessary, and preparing appropriate diet for a person with diabetes. I worked for eight years caring for elderly people with diabetes, paralysis and other handicaps. This is not part of my formal education but it provided me with experience that can serve me in other circumstances.
