my name is April. I am a 49 year old married mother of two children, with two pets..a recently rescued eight year old cat and seven year old dog. I am a non-smoker, and we currently live in Courtenay in the beautiful Comox Valley. I have been a long time resident of the Comox Valley since my family moved here from Richmond, BC to care for my father's aging relatives when I was 11. I am currently seeking a part-time after school care position in your own home in the Comox Valley, preferably in the West Courtenay area, in either the Arden or Puntledge catchments. (I am willing to consider positions in other catchments within the community depending on the conditions of employ/intended compensation/etc.) I am also open to considering daytime (late morning after 11 am to early afternoon) part time childcare for preschool aged children. I can be available immediately, however any amount of courtesy notice would be helpful. I am flexible to consider employment after 11 am during the week, anytime on the weekends/holidays, for casual, occasional, short periods, or part time positions. I am willing to discuss/negotiate wage. I have worked throughout the last number of years as a private LNR child care provider/nanny/before and after school care provider, and have experience with caring for children of all ages, including neurodivergent children, many on the Autism spectrum as well. Over the years, since the age of 11, I have worked as a private LNR child care provider offering care in various ways in daycare, babysitting, nannying, before and after school care, etc. I have also assisted with the elder care of my grandfather as a young teenager, and for the last fifteen years, my father who had multiple head injuries/dementia. He unfortunately passed away due to a lengthy illness back in January. I have also worked as a janitor/cleaner in a daycare/preschool in Comox, held various other customer service related positions within the restaurant and grocery industries over the years, and have cared for many homes and animals since a young age as well. I have also worked closely over the years with a local well known catering company. Prior to the worldwide pandemic, I worked with an ailing senior and her husband in home, and their daughter and family with two teenaged homeschooling children in their own home. There, I provided meal preparation/cooking, pet care, transportation to and from appointments, housekeeping, laundry, moving help, and educational assistance to the children. I also worked as a Designated Driver with Comox Valley Designated Drivers up until our services were put asunder by the pandemic. I am currently working part time as a shuttle driver/cleaner in the early mornings on weekdays at a local auto mechanic's shop.

I’m the mother of 4 beautiful, super sweet kiddos (age 2, 4, 6 and soon to be 10) and a childcare provider with over 15 years experience. I have been offering license not required care out of my home for many years now (and have 6 years of full-time, live-out nanny experience). I take on 1-2 children or a sibling group at a time. I strive to provide a safe, fun, engaging and nurturing space for all the children under my care. I have standard and infant first aid/CPR, a clean driver’s abstract, and many references upon request. I currently live in Powell River, but I’m planning to move to the Comox Valley within the next few months. Once I’m settled, I’m open to caring for children part time or full time. My children are friendly, gentle, sweet, super fun kiddos, and they’re wonderful with babies, toddlers and really, kids of any age. During the summer months all four will be under my care, but come September, my three girls will be in school full time and I’ll just have my son under my care for most of the day. My days with the children consist of lots of imaginative play, reading, arts and crafts, plenty of time outside, and sometimes we head over to Strong Start to play. Living a healthy, active, nature-rich lifestyle is important to me. Everyone is happier and the days run smoother when I incorporate fun adventures outside, so this means we regularly go for walks, head over to parks, the beach, etc. I have a minivan, extra car seats and boosters, and sometimes drive the children home at the end of the day if the parents request it. I’m pretty easy going and flexible, and open to accommodating what works best for the parents I work for. Feel free to send me a PM if you’d like connect! Thank you, Leija (pronounced “Lay-ah”) Childcare has always been a part of my life. I am the oldest of 4 girls, so I was my mother's helper growing up. I have years upon years of babysitting experience, as well as several years of full-time live-out nanny experience. I have offered LNR childcare out of my home for the last few years. I am also a full-time mother of 4 children. I graduated high school in 2003, and went on to study post-secondary courses in holistic nutrition and natural healing.
