My name is Adriana, and I am excited to bring my years of childcare experience and expertise to a loving family. A former professional in customer service and administration, I've transitioned careers because of my love for children and a deep desire to shape their lives positively. With 5 years of hands-on experience as a nanny in Canada and Brazil under my belt, I am skilled in fostering children's development across all age groups, from newborns to 9-year-olds. In every interaction, I aim to engage children in creative, educational play, and activities that stimulate learning and growth. My approach is warm, energetic, and child-centered, always with the goal of facilitating a safe and nurturing environment. Alongside this, I'm dedicated to building strong relationships with both children and parents, an aspect of the job I immensely enjoy. Presently, I'm pursuing my Childcare and Language Assistant Diploma at Pacific Link College, further honing my skills and continually upgrading my capacity to provide the best learning experiences to my charges. I'm enthusiastically open to bringing my new knowledge to my job and enhancing the lives of the children in my care. Outside my professional life, photography, video editing, and dancing are hobbies I am passioante about. Additionally, I love unwinding with a good TV show which keeps me inspired and ready to take on each day with renewed vigor. My availability stretches across the entire week, from mornings to evenings, making me the perfect candidate for a full-time nanny or housekeeping job. I am comfortable handling a variety of duties, including cooking, light housekeeping, meal preparation, help with homework, and even walking the dog, amongst other tasks. I am seeking a role where I can fully utilize my skills, passion, and enthusiasm to bring a positive impact on your children's lives. Equipped with the required expertise, a can-do attitude, and a love for children, I look forward to this exciting journey with your family. I can start immediately and am open to both live-in and live-out arrangements.

My journey in childcare includes working as a nanny in Canada and actively engaging in children's programs back home (in Brazil). As a nanny, I have provided attentive and nurturing care for children ranging from toddlers to school-aged kids. My responsibilities included creating a safe and stimulating environment, organizing educational and creative activities, assisting with homework, and supporting social-emotional development. I also ensured open communication with parents, following their preferences and maintaining consistency in routines. In Toronto, I worked as a nanny for 3 young children, where I managed daily schedules, school drop-offs, and extracurricular activities. I encouraged positive behavior and fostered a warm and respectful relationship with the children. In Vancouver, I have worked as an on-call nanny, providing flexible support to families whenever needed. Beyond private childcare, I spent several years volunteering in a children's program at a community church in Brazil. I worked with groups of 10-15 children aged 3 to 12, organizing interactive learning sessions, storytelling, arts and crafts, and music activities. This experience helped me develop strong leadership and organizational skills while creating an inclusive and engaging environment for children. Through my work in childcare, I have developed essential skills such as patience, adaptability, and creativity. I take pride in fostering a positive and enriching atmosphere where children can learn, explore, and grow confidently.
