I am an empathetic, compassionate nanny with extensive childcare experience looking for children to nurture. I am incredibly passionate about children as the majority of my life has been surrounded by being responsible for them. I grew up with a low - functioning autistic brother who had severe emotional and physical disabilities that prohibited him from joining in normal activities with regular groups of children, so I looked after and cared for him his entire life. I taught him how to cook, bake, run, bike, hike, box, swim, dance, sing, do household chores, complete schoolwork, read, write, learn mathematics and sciences, and even achieve bold athletic feats such as triathlons and cross country races. I have babysat since I was six and achieved my certificate at twelve, I have looked after five children in one household, s all ranging from newborns to age thirteen, and I have extensive knowledge in meal preparation, first aid, and CPR. My first official job was coaching kids of diverse and typical abilities as a certified pre-competitive and recreational gymnastics, parkour, and trampoline coach; as well as organising birthday parties, games, and interactive athletic activities for all the children attending. I would be honoured to take care of your children in the nurturing and trusting environment of your home, and provide that same level of trust in our relationship as well. In addition, I am also an experienced, well - educated tutor with a passion for learning and broad background knowledge on multiple subjects, if your children require tutoring of any kind alongside caregiving. I am an exceedingly committed teacher with devotion to each individual student I take on, as well as a strong enthusiasm for learning. I am a high school graduate in the 97 percentile with a 4. 0 GPA and the Principal's List and Honour Roll award for a consecutive five years in a row. I have been tutoring children since I was very young, first for my autistic brother, then for countless neighbourhood families, often while babysitting to incorporate a healthy environment of work and play. I have been a student teacher for multiple teachers across various subjects in my middle and high school years, including the grade 12 English graduation course, and prepped each student in my entire graduating year for the Provincial Exam and while ensuring every one of them passed with flying colours. I have mastered the three methods of learning, lesson planning, grading papers, editing essays, teaching individuals with varying learning disabilities, recording attendance, planning field trips, managing the class socially, and even instructing peers who were often two years older than me on my own lectures. I am highly qualified as a tutor to care for and nurture children or individuals of all ages and assist them in achieving all academic goals, without pushing them beyond their limits, and always encouraging them emotionally and mentally to do their very best and succeed. I am currently a behavioural interventionist, and I have been trained and applied behaviour analysis therapy, which is the nontraditional approach of coming at each child with compassion and understanding, and meeting them where they are at instead of forcing them to jump through hoops expected of Neurotypical children. As a Behavioural interventionist I work more with autistic children, but I also currently nanny Neurotypical children from as young as two weeks to as old as 18 years, the latter Typically being those who have disabilities. I love kids, and I am compassionate, empathetic, and patient of all backgrounds and abilities, and any sensitivity or care that your family might need specifically need for your children. I am experienced with kids, who cannot walk, cannot talk, have brain trauma, seizures, sleep apnea, or vision impairment, need to be tube fed and cannot eat, need to wear a heart monitor or sleep with a sleep apnea mask, or those individuals with extreme aggressive and escape behaviors. I have done it all and I’m happy to help your family should we be a good fit, please reach out and let’s get talking! :) Finally, I am quite proficient in all household cleaning, and I’m happy to help with any duties related to the kids, whether that’s prepping their meals, cleaning up after them, doing their laundry, organizing their toys, etc. I have been under the employment of countless families before since a very young age, giving me numerous experiences to practice and perfect my skills of cleaning, as well as prep all healthy meals for the children involved. I am accustomed to all manners of teaching and discipline, through areas bed time, screen time, and outdoor time, all to the parents discretion, of course. I am also a high level athlete in cross country, road biking, competitive swimming, MMA, and triathlons, in addition to spending the majority of my free time hiking, camping, and practising my outdoor survival skills; which qualifies me to take your children out on little adventures such as teaching them to ride a bike or go to the beach. I would love to be able to provide for your family in these arenas when you are out providing for your children financially, and give you all a safe and happy environment to return home to at the end of the day.
