I love children. Child and youth care program at Algonquin College of applied arts and technology.

I began babysitting my 6 younger siblings when I was 10 years old. Being in such a large family (7sisters and 3 brothers) I have learned about working, interacting and playing with children. Utilizing my skills, experience and love of childcare I helped my eldest sister through her premature twin pregnancy. I watch over the children of family and friends. At times I monitor 6 children at once. I have worked as a live in nanny /housekeeper for 1 year to 3 boys aged 8, 10, and 12. My daily tasks included: preparing meals, snacks and lunches, maintaing the cleanliness of the house, organizing and participating in activies for children, assisting with homework, answering phone calls and the door, serving guests and helping the family in anyway I could. and have a positive outlook on life.
