My name is Oban, and I am an 18-year-old nanny based in Halifax with 2 years of childcare experience. I am patient, outgoing, calm, and dedicated to creating a fun and enriching environment for children. I have a passion for incorporating creative activities like art and cooking into the child care I provide. This way, I am able to engage children in exciting experiences, encouraging them to explore their interests and learn new skills in a supportive, positive, and safe atmosphere.
My services are broad and include cooking, light housekeeping, running errands/grocery shopping, meal preparation for kids, transportation of children, and homework help, among others. I can also cater to special dietary needs and adhere to vegetarian, kosher, and lactose intolerant rules. I am organized and able to plan events, clean the entire house, and do family laundry if required. I find joy in helping with all aspects of child care and household management.
As far as my availability goes, I am extremely flexible and can work every day of the week, whether it’s mornings, afternoons, or evenings. Whether you need full-time, part-time, live-out service, I am ready to start immediately.
I'm proud to say that my skill set extends to children of all age groups, from newborns to those over 10 years of age. I am also comfortable caring for up to three children at once, making me a versatile choice for families of different sizes. Apart from this, I am capable and eager to offer my services to children with disabilities.
Moreover, I possess a High School diploma and first-aid training, which further complement my child care experience. Whether you're in need of a Nanny, Babysitter, Nanny/Housekeeper, Mother's Helper, Virtual Babysitter, or a home daycare, I'm eager and ready to assist.
If you’re looking for a reliable, attentive, and engaging caregiver who can provide a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for your children, I would be thrilled to hear from you.
I have two years of diverse childcare experience, including roles in summer camps, daycares, and in-home babysitting. During my time at Al Sabeel Summer Camp/Daycare, located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, I was responsible for planning and leading engaging activities for groups of up to 10 children aged 5-10. My main responsibilities included creating lesson plans, organizing games and outdoor activities, and ensuring the safety and well-being of all children under my care.
In my in-home babysitting positions, I provided personalized care for up to three children at a time, focusing on creating a nurturing and stimulating environment. Responsibilities included meal preparation, assisting with homework, and engaging children in age-appropriate activities.
I am comfortable caring for up to three children at the same time, ensuring each child receives the attention and care they deserve. A notable achievement was
successfully managing a group of ten children on a field trip to the local farm, ensuring all children remained safe and engaged throughout the day. This required careful planning, effective communication, and quick problem-solving skills to handle unexpected situations.
