I walk in shoes of grace, patience, kindness and always passionate about the life still before me. Over the past thirty years, I have raised four beautiful children whom all now are full into exciting journeys. Though I do love snowy days -- crackling fireplace, snowball fights, sledding and skiing, I very much welcome spring & summer because I love fishing, walking, hiking and flowers. My children have always been my greatest passion, and as the years have progressed my life for over twenty years would include the opportunity to private tutor them all--every grade & subject. This passion has carried over into enriching the lives of other children. For a few years I have also run Wee Kids (one of Calgary's longest run playgroup) and have volunteered as a trained Up Street Kids Facilitator--working with children affected by divorce, separation or death. I have extensive experience & skills working as a Child Development Facilitator including my work with Big Plans for Little Kids and, in addition for private families. I do hold a diploma in Legal Office Administration making President's List with a 4. 0 GPA and enjoy things within the legal realms and administration. I have also earned a diploma in Educational Psychology and one in Challenging Behaviour in Children & Young People with additional SEND educational courses. I am Alberta Early Childhood Educator certified. I am extremely experienced; relaxed in a variety of options and comfortable to work with families seeking a governess, specified childcare or to have their child/children tutored. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing how I could be an asset to your family.

Extensive experience spanning over thirty years with all ages—newborns, toddlers, young children, teens, to those entering high-school/adulthood. In-depth knowledge of the different temperaments and how to successfully defuse stressful or uncomfortable situations and develop the unique ways each child sees the world around them. Sensitivity towards recognizing learning strengths & weaknesses that enhance a child and won't leave them feeling deflated. I have a huge capacity to just simply enjoy each child where they are at without compromising their desire to discover and be appreciated. Many extended overnight stays ranging from 2 to 14 days providing 24/7 childcare supervision for families up to 5 kids ranging from ages infant to a teenager while parents vacation, take time away, or attend business overseas. Worked as a Child Development Facilitator (PUF) with Big Plans for Little Kids (Alberta Minister ended the funding of company's ten years' service). Worked as a governess for individual families and enjoyed it. Prepared meals ranging from gourmet to simple nourishing snacks. Provided nanny care over the years and continue to particularly focus on child development and tutoring. For three years I provided day to day pediatric respiratory care for a boy with a trachea. This would include a daily routine beginning in the morning including tracheal care, getting him up & ready, making breakfast, driving him to school and picking him up daily then providing continued care in my home until dinnertime. Because he required a full-time nurse at school on occasion I would remain in school providing that care when a nurse was unable to be in school on a given day. It didn't take long for that little boy to win a huge place in my heart.

(Re: Recommendation Letter for Gabriele) Dear Mrs. or Mr., Gabriele has been providing care for our son since September 2009. Dennis requires special care as he breathes through a tracheotomy since birth. Gabriele underwent the necessary training to care for Dennis medical needs. During these 3 years our son has become a part of Gabriele s family. Gabriele has provided a loving, safe environment for Dennis and at the same time has taught him priceless life lessons and values. Besides providing before and after school care for our son, Gabriele drives Dennis to and from school in her car. She has always done this punctually and safely. My wife and I have decided to take over the responsibilities of taking our son to and from school as our current work schedules allow us that flexibility. Otherwise, we would have never considered terminating Gabriele's employment with our family. Some of the qualities we appreciate the most in Gabriele are her sense of responsibility, honesty, punctuality, her flexibility and her patience and experience dealing with children. Gabriele is a very loving and tender person towards Dennis but at the same time firm and strict when necessary. Please feel free to contact us at the telephone number provided.
