My name is Charlea, a vibrant nanny with two years of experience working with children of various ages ranging from 1 to over 10 years old. Living in Calgary, my desire is to provide a fun, engaging and educational environment for your family. My journey began at the age of 13 babysitting, then moved into respite care, and then into tutoring, giving me a breadth of experience and skills. I'm also equipped to work and care for children with disabilities. Being fully competent in both English and French languages allows me to communicate effectively while also providing an opportunity for your child to learn a new language if desired. With a background in recreation therapy, my approach to care is both active and creative. I enjoy arranging crafts and activity-based programs throughout the day that encourage the children's involvement in many vocations and community engagements. I believe that children should not just be seen but heard, so I actively listen, interact, and engage with them to ensure their days are spent lovingly and meaningfully. I am passionate about creating an atmosphere that aligns with your family values and am more than happy to adapt to your lifestyle. From cooking and housekeeping to running errands and transport, I am highly capable of managing day to day activities in a coordinated manner. My availability spans all days of the week, from mornings, through midday and into the evenings. I am looking for a full-time or part Nanny or Babysitter role, in a live-out arrangement. I believe I can bring a unique blend of love, patience, fun and education to every child's life that I am entrusted with. While my most recent focus in the past four years has been primarily seniors, I am excited to transition back into child-care, and I look forward to commencing work by November or December 2024. I have completed my college education in Recreation Therapy & other courses in brain development study. I am in the process of renewing my training with First Aid and CPR training. I am also willing to obtain a police check if required. I look forward to the prospect of working with your family.

I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and spent over a year working with a family with six children, all with various special needs. I have been working in senior care for the last four years, but I enjoy interacting with people of all ages. I am now looking for the right fit with a family who values creativity, independence, and engagement.
