Hello, my name is Amisha. I am a professional nanny, governess, tutor and SEN educator with
approximately seven years of childcare experience in Canada, working with children aged 8 months to 13 years. I have supported families from diverse cultural backgrounds, including private and fully staffed households.
My experience includes childcare, educational support, developmental milestones, school readiness, potty training, meal preparation, household organisation, wardrobe management, and creating structured routines. As a private chef, I am also experienced in preparing nutritious, child-friendly
meals tailored to individual needs.
I have experience supporting children with SEN, including receptive language delays, ADHD, and speech delays. I adapt my approach through visual cues, repetition, structured routines, sensory and hands-on activities, movement breaks, positive reinforcement, and communication-focused play to help children develop their understanding, speech, confidence, focus, independence, and social skills.
I also provide strong family-assistant and household-management support, including managing schedules, appointments, school and extracurricular commitments, travel logistics, written reports, and daily household coordination. Having worked with high-profile and internationally mobile families, I understand the importance of discretion, professionalism, organisation, and anticipating a family’s needs.
Outside of work, I enjoy badminton, basketball, tennis, reading, baking, cooking, languages, arts and crafts, music, travel, technology, and space. I am also currently writing and illustrating my first children’s board book.
I am warm, reliable, energetic, patient, and dedicated, with a genuine passion for helping children feel confident, capable, happy, and supported.
