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 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’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!

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.
