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.

After finishing my degree in Kingston, I moved to Ottawa and have been enjoying getting to know the city! I am looking for work in/around the centretown area. I grew up in a busy family playing sports, taking music lessons, reading lots of books, and enjoying thought-provoking conversations (definitely not arguments!) with my brothers and parents. I have always known I want to work with kids in my future career, and I plan to continue my studies to eventually work as a Play Therapist. Recently, I have been working in the child services field, and have been gaining experience in children’s programming. This has enhanced my understanding of how to curate safe, enriching environments for children and my ability to integrate skill-enhancement into play and activities. Some of these experiences included daycare and Montessori supply teaching, tutoring for a schoolboard’s literacy camp, EarlyON program facilitation, and program coordination at a non-profit. Families have found me to be a patient and empathetic addition to their lives, always willing to offer support where I can. I enjoy getting to know each child I work with as an individual to understand their likes, dislikes, activities of interest, and strategies they respond to best. I approach each day with patience, creativity, and genuine curiosity for child development, allowing me to build trusting relationships with children and respond attentively to their mood, energy, and interests. My goal is always to foster confidence, independence, and joy – creating an environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to explore the world. During a care session, you can expect me to be singing all your child's favourite songs, setting up – and cleaning up – lots of seasonal crafts, playing anytime, anywhere, and always giving my full effort to make today a great day for your child! I am looking for a part time or full time contract starting at the end of May 2026 in the Beacon Hill/Gloucester or Orléans area. I can accommodate flexible schedules as well as long-term contracts. If you think I would be a good fit for your family’s needs, please reach out! Currently, I am enrolled in my Master’s degree studying counselling psychology. This program is online and asynchronous so it does not affect my availability.
