PLEASE NOTE: I am no longer seeking work as nanny. However available for babysitting on evenings or weekends.
______________________________________________________________________

I want to be a live out nanny because for as long as I could remember I have enjoyed caring for babies and children. Coming from a large immediate family and a large extended family, I have a lot of experience in caring for babies, and children. I come from a family with 6 children. At the the age of 4, I was eager to help my mom when my little brother was born. I have 3 younger siblings and I helped out as much as my parents saw fit. My caring, nurturing nature was evident from a very young age.

Children have always held a special place in my heart. They light up my world, and it would be very rewarding to be part of a child's care and development. I thoroughly enjoyed my OB rotation as a student nurse, I got the opportunity to work with new mothers and their newborn babies. From the very first day in OB, during orientation, I demonstrated to a new mother an effective technique for getting milk to flow. In that moment I had no hesitations, or doubts [even though I had learnt the technique a couple days earlier], as I thought to myself: “This is where I’m meant to be!”

As a nanny, I have experience with cleaning, cooking, doing laundry and pet-sitting as well. I love dogs! and cuddly cats are nice too.

Currently I participate in Nursery care at my church, taking care of infants, pre-toddlers and toddlers during the church service. Mothers often comment on the good rapport I have with their children, as I easily make a connection with the little ones, and this helps build trust and helps me understand their needs better, as they are more open with me.

I am a great fit for the role as a live out Nanny because I am intuitive, and a good listener, and I think these two qualities are very important when building rapport with a family, and gaining your trust as I care for your little one(s), as well as gaining your child's trust.

My gentle personality, and calming demeanour can offer comfort to families and their babies/ children in need. I am a good fit as a nanny because I really enjoyed supporting children thru their emotional struggles. I am patient, non-judgmental, and I set boundaries particularly with intense/ testy children. Since I am committed to life-long learning, I feel that working with children gives me the opportunity to learn all the time, and this gives me great joy.

For me child care (and nursing) is a privilege. And I am honoured to be in a profession in which I get to be with persons as they go through vulnerable experiences. With families, I hope my care and attention for them and their children can offer them comfort and peace of mind that their children are in good hands.
