Aurora Dear Sir/ Madam: I live in Toronto but I was born and raised in Romania. I lived on the American continent for the last 25 years. I find children naturally gifted although I have no children of my own. I live on my own and one of my passion is to teach and make art. I also like spending time in nature (hiking, biking and swimming). I excel at cooking, teaching, and being of service to my friends and community and who ever needs me as time permits. I started babysitting in my early 20s but only sporadically and for close friends and my nephews. Four years ago I started babysitting again. I am glad I did it because I truly enjoy my work. I babysat both boys and girls, different ages, and they all seem to love art and sports. I encounter occasional tantrums but it’s all right because all kids do. I approach the tantrums with a gentle attitude but I am firm when needed. I am willing to cooperate with the parents and adjust to their approach to parenting. I believe in family values as the pillar of our society. I can help your children grow mentally, and emotionally through teaching art and playing and stimulating both their right and left side of the brain, and assisting them with homework on any subject. I think I am an amazing nanny because I have an intuitive approach to what kids want, I know how to give them love while also setting boundaries when needed. I am open to light housekeeping and any chores you may need me to do like driving, or shopping. Sincerely yours, Aurora
