My name is Kaila. I am an active 28 year old who has extensive experience in child care. I have 9 years of full time and part time nannying experience to children ranging from newborn to 12 years old. I have an Education degree from the University of Calgary (specializing in Early Childhood Education), and have been teaching with the Calgary Board of Education for three years now. I am excellent with children and have exceptional nannying references. I have a passion for working with children and love being a hands-on nanny. I was a competitive dancer for 13 years, and taught ballet alongside a Royal Academy of Dance ballet teacher at Karen Clark Dance Studio in my hometown, Victoria, BC. Being a nanny for so long and now a teacher, I have learned *many* strategies for dealing with little people’s big feelings and am able to maintain boundaries while also being very fun and kind with the kiddos. I am an empathetic, caring, and understanding person, and I would love to become part of your family's routine. Please send me a message so we can discuss my qualifications and if I would be a good fit for your family.

I have 8 years of full time nannying experience (and over 15 years babysitting experience) with multiple families whom I still keep in contact with and occasionally care for. The children have been between 1 month and 12 years old. I have been an overnight nanny more recently where I cared for the children full time while their parents were away for up to a week at a time. My most recent position was a full time nanny to a newborn, so I am very comfortable with newborn care and development. Aside from my babysitting and nannying experience, I am a full time teacher with the CBE. I specialized in Early Childhood Education during my education degree. My typical day as a nanny has included taking children to and from activities/sports, meal prep, light housekeeping, outings to various parks, pools, and other places around the city, making lunch, adhering to nap schedules, playing games, making arts and crafts, baking, and organizing playdates when applicable.

I attended the University of Calgary. I have a Bachelors of Arts degree and an Education degree with an Early Childhood specialization.
