I am a empathetic, compassionate babysitter with extensive childcare experience looking for children to nurture. I am incredibly passionate about children as the majority of my life has been surrounded by being responsible for them. I grew up with a low - functioning autistic brother who had severe emotional and physical disabilities that prohibited him from joining in normal activities with regular groups of children, so I looked after and cared for him his entire life. I taught him how to cook, bake, run, bike, hike, box, swim, dance, sing, do household chores, complete schoolwork, read, write, learn mathematics and sciences, and even achieve bold athletic feats such as triathlons and cross country races. I have babysat since I was six and achieved my certificate at twelve, I have looked after five children in one household, s all ranging from newborns to age thirteen, and I have extensive knowledge in meal preparation, first aid, and CPR. My first official job, which I still hold to this day, is primarily looking after children as a certified pre-competitive and recreational gymnastics coach; as well as organising birthday parties, games, and interactive athletic activities for all the children attending. I would be honoured to take care of your children in the nurturing and trusting environment of your home, and provide that same level of trust in our relationship as well. In addition, I am also an experienced, well - educated tutor with a passion for learning and broad background knowledge on multiple subjects, if your children require tutoring of any kind alongside caregiving. I am an exceedingly committed teacher with devotion to each individual student I take on, as well as a strong enthusiasm for learning. I am a high school graduate in the 97 percentile with a 4. 0 GPA and the Principal's List award for a consecutive five years in a row. I have been tutoring children since I was very young, first for my autistic brother, then for countless neighbourhood families, often while babysitting to incorporate a healthy environment of work and play. I have been a student teacher for multiple teachers across various subjects in my middle and high school years, including the grade 12 English graduation course, and prepped each student in my entire graduating year for the Provincial Exam and while ensuring every one of them passed with flying colours. I have mastered the three methods of learning, lesson planning, grading papers, editing essays, teaching individuals with varying learning disabilities, recording attendance, planning field trips, managing the class socially, and even instructing peers who were often two years older than me on my own lectures. I am highly qualified as a tutor to care for and nurture children or individuals of all ages and assist them in achieving all academic goals, without pushing them beyond their limits, and always encouraging them emotionally and mentally to do their very best and succeed. Finally, I am quite proficient in all household necessities, such as general cleaning, cooking, dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, gardening, watering, weeding, mopping, window washing, bathroom scrubbing, laundry, organising rooms, meal prep, and baking. Due to the level of responsibility I was entrusted with from by my autistic brother as a child, I learned to complete all household chores while caring from him as well. I sufficiently prep and cook all of my own meals and have been doing so since I was ten, I clean the entire house top to bottom twice every week, and I look after all the basic necessities such as folding laundry, scrubbing down bathrooms, sweeping the floors, making beds and tidying rooms. I have been under the employment of countless families before since a very young age, giving me numerous experiences to practice and perfect my skills of cleaning, as well as prep all healthy meals for the children involved. I am accustomed to all manners of teaching and discipline, through areas bed time, screen time, and outdoor time, all to the parents discretion, of course. I am also a high level athlete in cross country, road biking, competitive swimming, MMA, and triathlons, in addition to spending the majority of my free time hiking, camping, and practising my outdoor survival skills; which qualifies me to take your children out on little adventures such as teaching them to ride a bike or go to the beach, all at your own discretion. I would love to be able to provide for your family in these arenas when you are out providing for your children financially, and give you all a safe and happy environment to return home to at the end of the day.

Please see first paragraph for all work related and personal experience. Additional Experiences/Qualifications: I understand that finding the perfect nanny, tutor, or caregiver for your family is like finding the perfect shoe; you want to last a long time, be of excellent quality, and most importantly, fit the needs of your family just right. I intend to be that perfect candidate for your family, to provide a safe and stable home for you children, but I understand that sometimes the needs of the family and the qualifications of the caregiver do not align. Therefore, as my starting salary, I am asking for in between $16 - $17. After a month, if you are not satisfied, we can part on agreeable and respectable terms with a greater learning experience for both parties. However, if you are satisfied and would like to continue services, I would like to increase my pay rate gradually until we reach $20 an hour, all event planning, account chequebooks, cleaning and meal prep, tutoring and monitoring, and outdoor adventures included in that rate. This salary request will, of course, change depending on the amount of children in the family, the age of the children, the tasks asked to be completed, the needs of the individual child, the behavioural tendencies and special needs of the child, and the special requests of the family (such as travel or overnights stay). I am more than happy to discuss these features of care giving at length with all interested families, and would like to thank you for reading my very long application. Please contact me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns; or would like to discuss my qualifications with myself in person.

Please see first paragraph for all education and academic qualifications.
