About Me

Hi parents. A bit about me is that I am a 22 year old Camosun College Student in her first year for a Bachelor of Education (Elementary) degree. Since graduating high-school, I have saved up for college by nannying, and discovered my great love of children and childcare this way. I have worked with young infants and older children in part and full time positions with over 5 families, all of whom's contact information I will provide upon request.

I was born and raised in the Fernwood area in Victoria, and know all other areas pretty well. I do not have a driver's license or car, so any travelling with the kids would have to be walk-able or buss-able (I travel this way and by bike).

I have a recently updated Emergency First Aid and Infant CPR certificate, as well as Foodsafe (in case the job requires meal-prep). In the spring (May 2020) I will be taking an ECE class, and will thus have my ECEA (Early Childhood Education Assistant) Certificate by Summer 2020.

I love to do art with the kids I watch, as well as plenty of reading, out and indoor play and whatever else fits into their ideal day. I am also happy to help older children with homework as needed. I happily clean, tidy and maintain the households I work in so you may come home for quality ( not clean-up ) time and will take-on any other appropriate responsibilities my employer requests.

I am also comfortable with/have lots of experience putting any age children to sleep, and will adapt to/learn from whatever routine the child/family desires if the job requires.

Bottom line, I adore working with children, and if I could help out your family by doing what truly makes me happiest, I'd be very honoured and thankful.

Nadine Morency

I have worked for Nadine for about a year and half, fluctuating between full and part time. I still leave Friday nights open for this family, as I am very close with the children and will maintain a connection with them as long as I may/as long as the parents require my assistance.

Christine Logan

Babysat part-time for Christine's one daughter (Libbie). Lovely family, and Christine also happens to facilitate a Facebook group "Babysitters Club" which provides families in the area in need of help with experienced sitters of whom hold references within the group (to ensure safety for the children).
