Hello, and good day! I am Danielle , looking for a full-time, live-out nanny position, preferably 30-40 hours per week. I am highly self-motivated, dependable and have a strong work ethic. As the eldest daughter of a family of eight (with two parents working full-time in healthcare), I have grown up knowing the responsibility of cooking, cleaning up after and caring for multiple children at once. I am incredibly patient, gentle and empathetic, and have a passion for childcare and child development. I understand that every child has individual and specific needs and desires and that as a nanny, it is my responsibility to help them learn and grow, and keep them safe, clean, fed and happy as they tackle the world!
I have many years of experience working with a variety of personalities in children, as I have spent much of my time growing up volunteering for soup kitchens, summer camps, tutoring and teaching Sunday School at my old Church. I also babysat for many of my mother's friends throughout high school, but most of my babysitting experience consists of taking care of my neighbour's three beautiful children, ages one through five.
Having worked as a professional cleaner and, currently, as a crew member in a kitchen, I am more than comfortable with housekeeping and cooking, willing to adjust to any dietary restrictions or specific systems of whatever home I'm in. Transportation is not an issue as I have my class 5 license and my own vehicle with a perfect driving record. I respect the beliefs of every home I enter and wish to make the lives of children and their parents easier and brighter, willing to adapt to whatever tasks are needed on a day-to-day basis.
I have my First Aid and Foodsafe certification and am currently studying to receive my Responsible Adult certification. I can pursue more training if required for a position.
Hobbies of mine include songwriting/recording, playing the piano and guitar, spending time in nature (preferably with my dogs) and cooking! There is nothing more therapeutic than being able to write music, spend some time outside, or cook something delicious and healthy for myself, my friends or my family!
Summary of Qualifications:
- Strong Work Ethic - Adaptability - Creativity
- Problem Solving - Critical Thinking - Communication
- Positive Attitude - Empathy - Patience
I can cook, clean, tutor and/or help with homework, do laundry, transport children, supervise other household staff and organize or plan activities if required.
Having worked as a pharmacy assistant, professional cleaner and kitchen helper/crew member, I have a variety of skills that transfer to childcare. I am incredibly patient, kind and respectful, and have a positive attitude no matter where I go or what I do. I have keen attention to detail, excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and a friendly personality that makes it easy for me to get along with anybody.
