Hello families, My name is Andrea and I am an energetic and caring teacher who is looking for a Nanny position this summer. I am currently working as a Kindergarten teacher with the OCDSB. This year will mark my eighth teaching year with the OCDSB. I have spent the past six years teaching Early French Immersion (EFI) Senior Kindergarten. I am a graduate from the State University of New York at Potsdam where I received a Master of Science in Teaching with distinction degree. This program has qualified me as a primary/junior teacher within both the New York State Department of Education and the Ontario College of Teachers. I have also taken several additional qualification courses to further advance my qualification and improve my classroom practices. In addition to my education background it is through my involvement in recreation from which I have developed a true passion for teaching and working with children. I have worked within the recreation field for the last 16 years. I have works as an alpine ski coach at Camp Fortune and with the city of Ottawa as a swimming instructor, lifeguard, first aid instructor, camp leader and French language instructor. In my free time, I like to stay active and participate in many recreational activities. I enjoy swimming, golf and love to participate in group exercise classes. I am an avid downhill skier and love spending time outdoors. I have a true passion for working with children and would love the opportunity to find a wonderful family to work with this summer.
