I’m compassionate, energetic, trustworthy, patient, hardworking and reliable individual with a tremendous experience in childcare. I’m a qualified Early Childhood Educator and a Certified Healthcare Aide under Alberta Healthcare Directory. I’m a Permanent Resident in Canada and I’m residing in Alberta for almost 8yrs now. My first childcare job was in Hong Kong for 2 yrs. Last October 2014, I arrived here in Canada to work under the Live-in caregiver program. I worked with an amazing professional family with 2 adorable kids for 3 yrs in Edmonton. After my contract with them I moved to Calgary and worked for 2 yrs in a private-owned daycome looking after children with different ages. Parents were happy to see their kids growing and improving in a positive way that’s why I got a positive feedback from them. Although, it is a challenging role but it is a very rewarding job after all.
I also worked as a Healthcare Aide in a private home and in an assisted living facility with handicap clients with a high special needs.
Currently, I’m working in a daycare in Calgary as a casual employee but due to limited hours, I’m looking for a full time job and I’m happy to work with you.
Best regards,
Michelle
Dependable and compassionate individual.
