Holly S.
I'm a dedicated childcare provider with over five years of experience working with children, fueled by my love for teaching and supporting their growth. Currently, I’m finishing my Bachelor of Arts, double majoring in Psychology and Marketing, which I’m pursuing part-time. My goal is to continue on to teachers' college and build a career in education. I am fluent in both English and French, allowing me to connect with children and families in multiple languages. I’m passionate about sports, especially swimming, volleyball, soccer, and skiing, which I enjoy sharing with children whenever possible. My background includes hands-on experience as a lifeguard, swim instructor, and coach, where I focused on teaching children of all ages the importance of safety and confidence in the water. Additionally, my high school childcare co-op gave me the opportunity to design engaging lesson plans and work closely with children, helping me develop a patient, creative, and nurturing approach. I love creating a safe, inclusive environment where children feel supported and inspired to learn. Whether it's through sports, creative activities, or focused lessons, I’m committed to helping children grow and discover their strengths.
With over five years of hands-on experience working with children, I am passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for young ones to grow and thrive. My background includes working as a lifeguard, swim instructor, and coach, where I supervised children of all ages, ensuring their safety while fostering positive learning experiences. I have extensive experience creating fun, customized lesson plans, and I particularly enjoy supporting children’s development at their own pace, adapting my approach to meet each child’s unique needs and interests. Through my high school childcare co-op, I gained additional hands-on experience working directly with young children in a structured childcare setting. This role allowed me to develop and implement creative, age-appropriate lesson plans that sparked curiosity and encouraged a love of learning. I became skilled at managing group dynamics, maintaining a safe and organized environment, and supporting each child’s individual strengths. My childcare co-op experience reinforced my dedication to fostering a warm, inclusive atmosphere where children feel valued and supported. I am also experienced in working with children with disabilities, bringing a patient, attentive approach to create a supportive and inclusive environment. As a swim instructor, I used creative, confidence-building techniques to help children of all abilities feel comfortable and reach their goals. Certified in Standard First Aid and Infant/Child CPR, I am committed to upholding safety standards while creating a warm, friendly atmosphere. I look forward to bringing this dedication and experience to support families in nurturing their children’s growth and happiness.
