I’m the eldest of two siblings, 41 years old, single, and proudly identify as a gay male. My family often describes me as the life of the party, and I genuinely enjoy engaging with people of all ages. In my free time, I love watching shows and movies, playing games, cooking, and exploring creative hobbies like building and designing Lego sets—a passion I’ve pursued since 2019. I find that entertainment and play often reflect real-world dynamics, offering valuable insights into culture, communication, and learning. Having been exposed to many cultures throughout my life, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for diversity—something I believe lies at the heart of being Canadian. This multicultural perspective helps me connect with learners from all backgrounds and create inclusive, engaging experiences that celebrate individuality and community. In addition to childcare, I offer personalized tutoring in English, social media awareness, AI literacy for safe learning, tourism, and experiential education. My approach emphasizes critical thinking, digital discernment, and real-world application—empowering learners to navigate both academic and everyday challenges with confidence. While I may not have formal teaching credentials, I bring meaningful mentoring experience from my time supporting international students at Centennial College under the Tourism Program. Over the course of more than a semester, I received training in cross-cultural learning, guided academic development, and fostered engagement through experiential methods. Beyond my academic involvement, I’ve supported a wide age range of godchildren, nieces, and nephews—providing hands-on help with their classes, especially when their parents’ work schedules made it difficult. These experiences have deepened my understanding of diverse learning needs and strengthened my ability to connect with children on a personal level. I’m passionate about helping children and learners build skills that are relevant, responsible, and future-ready—especially in today’s fast-evolving digital and global landscape. First Aid training and other relevant certifications are available upon request.

I’ve been caring for children since the early 2000s, supporting a wide age range from 5 to 16 years old. My most recent experience in Edmonton, Alberta involved caring for two boys, aged 8 and 10, over an 8-month period. My responsibilities included: • Morning care on weekends and non-school days: waking them up, preparing and serving nutritious breakfasts and lunches, and offering snacks as planned with their parents. • Daily routines: helping them change from pajamas to appropriate clothing, reminding them to shower, brush their teeth, and use the washroom. I also regularly advised them to place their dirty clothes in the laundry bin so their parents could run the wash, and I typically folded the clean clothes once they were dry. • School support: picking them up from the bus stop (a 5-minute walk), especially during harsh weather conditions like snow, wind, or heavy rain. • Playtime and screen management: engaging with them during PS5, Switch, or mobile games while managing nap and screen time according to parental guidelines. • Evening care: preparing them for dinner and providing nighttime supervision, especially on weekends when their parents attended private functions. • Outdoor activities: going for walks during pleasant weather and ensuring they stayed hydrated, particularly in Edmonton’s dry climate. In addition to childcare, I also cared for my maternal grandmother from age 70 until her passing at 94. She had mild dementia, and I provided nighttime support and companionship during those years. I’m excited to become a trusted extension of your family, offering dependable and compassionate care tailored to your needs. With years of hands-on experience, I bring a competitive service—with heart.
