My name is Sandra. I am a 30-year-old caregiver who has a naturally nurturing spirit and a rich background in childcare. Boasting an extensive experience of caring for children of all ages, I have done so both professionally and as a devoted mother. Before, I served as a live-in nanny for a 3-year-old boy as well as a 5-year-old girl. During that period, I managed not only their daily routines, home-based learning, and household tasks, but also safely escorted them to appointments. In our daily routine, music played a pivotal role. I seamlessly incorporated singing as a means of teaching, providing comfort, and creating joyful, lasting memories. I'm not just a professional caregiver; I also take pride in being a mother to three wonderful kids aged 8, 6, and 3. Moreover, I took part in the upbringing of my two younger siblings, who are currently 12 and 18. These experiences have shaped me to be a calm, reliable, and well-organized caregiver. I truly comprehend how structure, emotional connection, and creativity can contribute to a child’s healthy development. Families I have assisted often view me as an extension of their own family. The routines I have implemented continue to provide stability and comfort for the children I look after. Aside from caregiving, I savour singing, cooking, reading, and spending time outdoors with my loved ones. I am incredibly passionate about the well-being of children, and I strive to foster safe and enriching environments where they can feel seen, supported, and encouraged to thrive.

From September to December 2024, I worked as a live-in nanny in Calgary, providing full-time care for a 3-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl. My daily responsibilities included preparing nutritious meals, supporting morning and bedtime routines, designing engaging educational activities, and fostering a safe and nurturing environment. I also managed light housekeeping, including tidying the children’s spaces, doing laundry, and maintaining general cleanliness. Additionally, I ensured the children attended all scheduled medical and extracurricular appointments safely and punctually. I provided one-on-one tutoring at home, focusing on reading, homework assistance, and foundational math skills, which contributed to both children's academic growth and confidence. Special Achievements: 1. Successfully potty-trained both children within a short period. 2. Helped the 5-year-old improve her reading skills through consistent tutoring. 3. Developed a weekly visual routine that reduced behavioral challenges and continues to benefit the family today. 4. Maintained a tidy, organized home environment while balancing full-time childcare and educational support. 5. Earned lasting praise from the parents for my commitment and nurturing style, they continue to keep me close as an extended part of their family.
