As a caregiver, I rely on Maslow's hierarchy of needs I think no matter which job it is this is very important to have at the core of what you're doing um because these stages, if not met during any part of the child's development, is detrimental to the well being. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is 1. physiological 2. safety 3. love and belonging 4. esteem and 5. self-actualizations. I integrate my university education in Psychology, Certified Early Childhood Educator Assistant, and general love for children to make the best of every job and experience for the child, parent, and me. I am available as required for babysitting, and for nannying need a set schedule with guaranteed hours as is the industry nanny standard. Some flexibility is understandable. I also have a vulnerable sector record check (Feb 2023). I completed volunteer work with veterans and seniors with dementia and Alzheimer's at what we call "The Guesthouse, " a break for both the caregiver and the person with the illness. I have obtained my CRP-C & first aid adult and pediatric, infection and prevention certificate, food handlers certification, Mental Health First Aid Certification, WHIMIS. as well as a babysitting course certification I have provided child care for children with: • Speech impediments • Severe allergies • Needs for medication • Separation anxiety • Autism • ADD Extra services: • Light cooking/food preparation • Light cleaning • Toy sanitization • Toy rotation • Child Laundry *Added cost can be discussed

I have ten years of experience, my time management and patience are great and I am empathetic and reliable. I can work with flexible schedules as long as there is a proper notice of changes. I can provide; play date supervision, reading books, child development-led activities, homework supervision, etc. I have experience with newborns to 14-year-olds. Unfortunately, I do not drive, so I'm looking for those very close to public transit unless you are providing transit. I've worked in Childcare on and off for 10 years. I ran my own babysitting business from 12-18 years old consistently. Then, during university, I worked in a summer nanny position. (In 2020) Intensive ECE shadowing at a daycare for my co-op hours for my ECA Certification. In this position I made the most difference working 1 on 1 with a girl we suspected was on the spectrum who had major difficulties, by then end I had my supervisor's verbal recommendation to go in work with children with ADD and Autism. Most recently worked, In a travel nanny position where I was recruited and wage assessed by a nanny agency ($35/hr). Then hired by Edward's Jones Financial Group through the agency to run a daycare room for their employees during a convention. I cared for children with severe separation anxiety, those who didn't like parallel play, Meal time difficulties, and more with my co-workers exceptionally according to my supervisor. Health notice I only ask that you wash your hands upon entering the home from outside. And let me know if anyone is feeling sick. I will of course do the same, I just try to minimize how many people I interact with to keep everyone around me and myself safe.

My degree was a Bachelors of Arts Honours Major in Psychology with Minor in Sociology Child development, families through the life course, Psychology of women etc (all had children led subsections or were fully about children.) I have through my ECA Certification learned and have the ELECT Document used in Early Childhood Education.
