I am a playful, but dependable and trustworthy person with over 20 years of experience working with youth as a teacher, facilitator of therapeutic, artistic programs, child & youth worker, nanny and caregiver. I am an Expressive arts facilitator, child & youth worker, with a theatre and music background, as well as a yoga teacher for children and youth (also pre-post natal, adults, seniors), and I also spent several years teaching ESL as well as drama and music, in International Schools in Asia. I will be completing my Masters in Expressive arts therapy, in Toronto, and so I am looking for a part time position as a nanny/creative arts teacher/ therapeutic provider, and/or simple household chores/errands, and I am open to both live in/out positions and negotiable salary. I love hiking and nature, creative arts, teaching, and helping others through emotional issues. I particularly resonate with and have a lot of success with youth with anxiety, depression, anger issues, etc, ages 8-teens.
