Yrs Experience

I am a mother to two grown kids. In my youth, I taught swimming lessons and worked at summer camps. I also babysat my neighbor's child 3-5 days a week after school. Additionally, I was a chef for almost 25 years, and I enjoy cooking and baking, although I prefer cooking for fewer people.

I have been a babysitter/nanny since I was 12, caring for many kids in various situations. As a sitter, I typically charge a minimum of twenty dollars per hour, but I am willing to make some exceptions. I am hoping to find a playmate for the baby girl I already care for in the Sunset area. Recently, the current child's father informed me that he will be staying home with his daughter until January. I have been looking after her since she was 6 months old, and she just celebrated her 2nd birthday. Therefore, I am available to help another family. If you have an immediate need for someone to assist around your house or with your child, please don't hesitate to give me a call.

I studied electronics in college and completed my chef's apprenticeship. I took many leadership courses at the rec center focusing on preschool-aged children when I was young. I also obtained my lifeguarding certification, although it has since expired. I taught swimming lessons and led summer camps in Saanich, BC, for a couple of years before moving to Vancouver for college. After college, I worked as a cook at Grouse Mountain while also snowboarding and competing in boarder cross at Big White and Seymour. I started my chef's apprenticeship during this time. I have two fully grown children of my own now. For the past two years, I have been working as a nanny for a single dad and his autistic daughter. However, he has decided to take time off to stay home with her until after Christmas, so I am currently available.

Nanny
In home many to a infant. Sia was 6 months old when I started. as her nanny. I worked for this family until they moved to Vancouver island. Adrian was in the film industry and worked very long hours. As a result I often stayed in their home overnight, enabling him to leave for work at very early hours. Over the two and a half years we realized that she was autistic and so eventually caring for her involved taking her to speech therapy, as well as our everyday activities. Like the rec center or playground, and park, groceriy shopping ect.
