Yrs Experience

My name is Ryan. I grew up in a small town in Saskatchewan called Yorkton. I was raised by my mother from the age of eleven. She felt it very important to instil strong morals and a sense of feminism from an early age. I accredit my success and loving attitude to her. I grew up figure skating and continued to do so until I was eighteen. As a competitive athlete, I believe I learned many skills including dedication, responsibility and perseverance from the fifteen years I figure skated. As a way to supplement the costs of the sport I taught skating to children. This was my first foray into childcare and teaching. I absolutely loved it. I felt very fortunate to pass a skillset down from a sport that I believe to be a positive influence and great learning experience for children. I took classical piano classes my entire childhood. I played saxophone in band and jazz band and sang in the choir and jazz choir. These skills were essential to my development in University, where I started making my own music, eventually turning into my career as a professional touring musician with my band, Austra. I have been playing professionally with them for the past eight years. As with any artistic endeavour, there are ebbs and flows with employment. We have just recently finished touring our record that was released in January of 2017 and do not have any current plans for the future. I have a double honours degree from the University of Saskatchewan in studio art and art history with a minor in gender studies. I have very limited french language skills, but am interested in furthering these skills, as I plan on making Montreal my home. I am a new resident to Montreal who would like to work part time while I study and improve my French. I have experience tutoring children in piano as well as coaching figure skating. Combining my 15 years of figure skating and 10 years studying as a royal conservatory of music pianist as well as the opportunities I had to tutor students while doing so I feel I am a qualified candidate to nurture and encourage these skills in young people and children. I have first aid and CPR training as well as glowing references from families I have worked with. I am capable of assisting children in their studies and I hold a undergraduate degree in fine arts. I am queer and feminist and ideally would work with an open and contemporary family who would be comfortable with my identity. I am capable and happy to provide housework as well as meal preparation and have experience working in food preparation. Additionaly, I have two years experience working as a Personal Assistant to a Corporate Executive. Personally, through my passion with music I have spent much of the last 8 years travelling and performing internationally in a successful and accomplished band of classical trained musicians who used our rigorous musical training to create fun and structured electo pop. I am excited for the opportunity to live in Montreal and impove upon the French I studied through high school and first year university. Although I studied French throughout highschool and in first year university, originating from Saskatchewan my opportunities to practice the language were limited. The band is on hiatus from our vigorous touring schedule for the next year

I was a figure skating coach for six years as a teenager. I taught children of many ages from as young as three to young teenagers. I babysat throughout high school. Most of my experience is with children over 3 years old, but have spent a lot of some time caring for my brother's son when he was an infant. I worked at a day program for adults with intellectual disabilities for many years in Saskatoon while I was studying and for two years after. Most of the young adults and adults were severely autistic.
