I am a goal-oriented and creative person with a higher education background and a passion for continuous development. My experience in online business allows me to adapt easily to changes, find solutions to complex problems, and think strategically. Family is a top priority in my life—I am happily married, a mother of two, and a proud grandmother of two wonderful granddaughters. Every weekend, I spend time with them, organizing engaging and educational activities. We play board games, read, do arts and crafts, go for walks, and simply enjoy being together. I have a lot of patience and know how to connect with children, creating a warm and friendly environment for them. Most importantly, I always prioritize their safety, carefully monitoring their well-being and ensuring they feel secure and happy. Beyond family, I enjoy traveling, self-improvement, and reading. I recently moved from Ontario to Quebec, embracing a new chapter in my life. I am fluent in both written and spoken English. Additionally, I have always been interested in mathematics—it is both challenging and fascinating, making it a true intellectual pursuit for me. One of my favorite hobbies is creating paintings and handmade items from epoxy resin. For me, this is not just a form of art but also a way to express my inner state, relax from daily routines, and restore balance. Working with epoxy resin allows me to immerse myself in the creative process, disconnect from stress, and create something truly unique that reflects my emotions and mood. I am a responsible and attentive person with strong organizational and time-management skills, especially when it comes to caring for children. My top priority is to ensure their safety, comfort, and joyful experiences while they are in my care. For 12 years, I have been a grandmother, and each weekend, I spend time with my grandkids. We go to the playground, I feed them homemade food, play board games, read books, bake and cook together, and have fun. I always ensure they are safe, engaged, and learning through play. I organize creative activities, such as arts and crafts, storytelling, and educational games, to develop their skills and imagination. I am patient, caring, and experienced in handling children's needs, from meal preparation to bedtime routines, making sure they feel loved and happy

I have a younger sister who is 10 years younger than I am. Growing up, I often took care of her while my mother was working. This experience helped me develop a good understanding of young children’s language and needs. For three years, I was involved in missionary work at church, where I taught middle and high school students and participated in cultural performances. I also have experience preparing meals for cancer patients, which taught me responsibility and care. My main interest is dance, especially K-pop dance, which I enjoy performing and teaching. If children like dancing, I can play and teach them as well. Being Korean, I can also share Korean language and culture with children interested in learning, while I continue improving my English through interaction with them. Since coming to Canada, I have had two babysitting experiences, during which I engaged children in "teacher-student" role-play. I acted as a student while the children took the teacher role, encouraging them to naturally practice teaching, and they really enjoyed it. I am patient, responsible, and enjoy creating a fun and educational environment for children. Childcare Experience: I have experience teaching children aged 4 to 12 at an English academy in Korea. Additionally, I served as a youth teacher for middle and high school students at my church. Since moving to Canada, I have worked twice as a babysitter for friends’ children, caring for a 5-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy. How I would care for your child: I plan to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child. I will engage them with age-appropriate activities such as reading, playing educational games, and creative play. I am patient, attentive, and flexible to meet the child’s individual needs. Although my English is not perfect, But I enjoy playing with children and learning English through our time together. At the same time, I can teach them some Korean language and culture, making the experience fun and enriching for both of us.
