Hello! I'm Jenna, a vibrant and energetic 23-year-old living in Ottawa. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Ottawa with a goal to teach primary/ junior students in the future. My love for children is not only seen in my career path, but also in my past 6 years of experience working with children. I've had opportunities to work as a babysitter as well as a summer park program leader for children aged 4-12 for three summers. Plus, my experience extends to working at Rockcliffe Child Care Center for two years.
I am available to start working as of May 13 and my schedule is flexible enough to adapt to families' needs. I am primarily available during the day and could be open to some evenings on Monday-Friday. As well, the occasional weekend if really needed.
Not only am I a meticulous caregiver, but I also enjoy assisting with house chores. I can perform duties like light housekeeping, meal preparation for children, children's laundry, tidying up the kitchen, helping with anything else around the home, and even pet care among others. I am comfortable with working with up to four or more children, ranging from ages one and up, and I am capable of working with children with disabilities as well.
I have a Canadian citizenship, and speaking both English and beginner French. I am a passionate outdoor enthusiast, I enjoy sports, arts and crafts, and basically anything outdoors, which means your kids will always be engaged in fun and enriching activities. I have my CPR and First Aid Training as well. My ultimate goal is to create a safe, comfortable, fun and educational environment for your children. I look forward to potentially joining your family!
I began babysitting at a young age all throughout my high school experience through family friends and parents' coworkers children. I have then gone and worked at Rockcliffe Child Care Center and really enjoyed my time being a reliable individual that parents/guardians can count on. I am currently enrolled in the bachelor of education program at the university of ottawa with the intent to teach elementary in my future. I have encounter emergencies with children and know that I am always prepared considering I have much experience.
