My name is Geraldine, and I'm originally from Colombia, currently living in Ottawa, Canada. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, and I'm actively learning French, excited to keep growing and connecting with new cultures along the way. I'm a loving, responsible, organized, and patient person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel confident. I take pride in keeping a clean and structured environment, maintaining open communication with parents, and adapting to the needs of each child and family. Outside of work, I enjoy dancing, hiking, painting, playing sports, and embracing new adventures. I love exploring different cultures and am always eager to learn and grow both personally and professionally. I look forward to bringing my experience, warmth, and dedication to a kind and welcoming family. With over four years of experience in childcare and early learning environments, I have worked with children across a wide range of ages and needs, from toddlers to school-age youth. In my current role as a Educator at Kids Kingdom Daycare, I support children's cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development while maintaining health and safety standards. Previously, at College-Montrose Children's Place, I delivered direct programming for children from newcomer families and those with developmental delays, adapting activities to meet diverse individual needs. As a Nanny, I managed daily routines and fostered independence in two school-aged children through structured, nurturing care. I also ran after-school programming for children aged 6–11 at Birchmount Community Action Council, designing inclusive activities focused on social development, leadership, and cultural expression. Throughout all these roles, I have built trusting relationships with children and families, maintained safe environments, and consistently communicated with parents to support each child's growth and well-being.

Children deserve to be adored and provided with the best care possible. I knew I wanted to be someone who would have the knowledge, skill set and competence to be able to provide quality care. So I enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program and in 2014 I graduated from Champlain College and received my attestation certificate in Early Childhood Education. I have worked in the childcare field for over 15 years now. I was an early childhood educator for 10 of those years. I have worked as a nursery room educator in a daycare and also as a head educator in a preschool for children aged 2 1/2 to 5 years old. I was a part time nanny to triplet boys while in school and was also a private nanny to a little girl for over a year and most recently to a little boy and girl for three years. Once I am committed, I am loyal to that commitment until I am not needed any longer. I am looking to work with a family that has the same values as me and are willing to work together as a team. I am currently looking for a nanny position, full-time, starting January 2026. I look forward to hearing from you. :) As an educator, I have worked/volunteered in the following age groups: 0 - 18 months old, 18 - 36 months old and the 4 - 5 years old group. As a nanny I worked with the following age groups; newborn - 12 years old.

I'm Alex. I have recently relocated to Ottawa from my native U.K., and am seeking work in childcare. I am a dependable, warm, and outgoing individual with demonstrable childcare experience having previously worked as an au pair, secondary school teacher, and summer school coordinator. I have experience working with children of all ages, many of whom with a range of special needs that required attention to detail, empathy, and patience, to provide for effectively. Differentiating my approach with a variety of children to maximise their learning outcomes was a core part of my teaching experience, and I hope to be able to lend some of that expertise to a family looking for childcare. A bit about me: as hinted above, my wife and I were living in Oxford in the U.K. and, in a bid to escape the grey skies and the rain, we took the leap and moved to Canada (although I'm yet to experience a winter here, that may teach me a lesson!). I am a very active and outdoorsy person who loves exploring the world, be it on my bike or my feet. I am a keen musician and play the piano and guitar, and am also into film photography. My wife and I try to live our lives as technology-free as possible so, in lieu of watching TV, you can find me winding down with a book of crosswords. I have previously au paired for two boys in Chieti, Italy. They were both 7 at the time (twins) and I cared for them over a summer, being responsible for them in both a care sense and also as an English tutor. I spent a lot of time with the boys over a 3 month period whilst they were off school for the summer, and I enjoyed caring for them and seeing our bond grow. I visited the family a year later during some travels. Shortly after this position, I was an activity leader at a local summer school in Winchester, U.K. One half of this role was organising and leading activities for children visiting the U.K. in order to improve their English, and the other half was teaching these children in either a traditional classroom setting or during one-on-one home visits. I have also worked as a secondary school teacher of Modern Foreign Languages in the UK working with children, many of whom required special educational provisions due to a range of special needs, aged five to eighteen. Alongside my classroom teaching duties I had many pastoral roles with the kids, being both a form tutor (homeroom) and participating in a mentorship programme for older students struggling with exams. Qualified teacher in the U.K.
