I am looking for a full-time, long-term position (daytime hours), starting in January or February 2024. I live in the West End and am willing to commute a reasonable distance. What makes me different from other nannies: I have a high level of awareness and emotional intelligence as I have done my own personal development work and practice meditation regularly. This allows me to be very present and responsive to children. I treat children with tenderness and respect. I aim to validate children's feelings, empathize with them, set healthy boundaries and offer appropriate choices. I take being a nanny seriously and feel very passionate about giving children the best care, love and attention possible. Health, safety and hygiene are always my top priority. My character: I am deeply caring, empathetic, gentle, intuitive, mindful and playful. I am also reliable, responsible, efficient and organized and I have great communication skills. I am known for my positive energy and calm presence. I love being getting outdoors and into nature. My philosophy & values: I believe in helping children to understand their emotions, make wise choices, be independent, to love and trust themselves and be kind to others. I find great fulfillment in guiding young children as they explore their world. I like to help them learn through play. I believe in getting children outside everyday and giving them health food choices. I prefer little or no screen time. I value authenticity, humility, respect, compassion, gentleness, kindness and patience. My style: I allow children to be themselves while setting appropriate boundaries. I like to engage with children at their level. I enjoy doing all sorts of activities with children: getting out for walks around the neighbourhood, playing at the park, doing outings to the local library or community centre, indoor play, creative activities or other fun adventures. My talents/interests: I love to sing and I can play a little ukelele and keyboard. I swim, do yoga, meditate and am continually looking to grow and evolve as a person. Ideal family: I am looking for a family with one child, an infant or toddler. Parents who are grounded, stable, emotionally mature, compassionate, mindful and share similar values. I feel it's important to have honest, open, direct communication so needs and expectations are clear and good relations are established.
