My name is Myrna. I am 46 yrs old and have 2 adult children, whom I raised as a single parent and homeschooled for many years. I am a non-smoker/non-drinker, own a reliable vehicle so I can transport children if needed or run errands. I love music and love incorporating it into my playtime with children. I have many years of experience working with babies and children of all ages and backgrounds. From diapering, feeding, teaching numbers and letters, serve and return activities with babies and toddlers to providing care for children dealing with trauma or disabilities. I have gained over 5 years of experience in this field while I was employed at a women's emergency shelter. I believe that many times a child expresses their emotions through actions instead of through words and strive to help them express their emotions in a positive way. I also believe in the power of play and have experience with play therapy. I believe in attachment based activities where you connect with the child. I enjoy hearing a child laugh and getting down to their level and really enjoy a time of play. I have trauma informed training &my First Aid & CPR training. I also have a certificate in Child & Youth Counselling. I can provide light meal preparation, as well as some light housekeeping duties. My rates are negotiable & based on duties required/intensity of duties, or if transportation is needed.

I have been working as a nanny near Okotoks for the past year & a half. Previously I worked at a women's emergency shelter as a child development worker for over 5 yrs. I gained experience working with children of all ages & backgrounds. I also have experience working in a preschool setting with 2 yr olds and infants in nursery setting.
