I am an avid reader and self proclaimed Jill of all trades. I have been working with children in some manner since I was 12 years old! I have also attended University for Philosophy, English, Prosthetic make-up design, and Architectural Engineering.
I love learning new things!
I grew up as the eldest of 3 girls. My mom is a nurse and my dad is a Physician. With my younger sisters being 7 and 11 years younger than me. I was the babysitter in my household and that set me up for a love of working with children.
I obtained my lifeguard certification and teaching qualifications when I was 16 and began teaching swimming lessons, which I continued to do alongside school until I was 24.
I love to travel and have nannied for many families across Canada. I have also worked as a Nanny in Paris, the South of France, London (UK) and the USA.
I have extensive experience with newborn infants (I am a certified postpartum doula) as well as toddlers and school aged children.
For more detailed information on my childcare experience please contact me for my full resume and cover letter.
