Merrilee L.
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.
Salary: Negotiable
