Lynne W.
I am a highly self-motivated, conscientious, and professional Vancouver native, with a background in childcare and children's program management on cruise ships. My extensive experience working with kids was sparked very early on — basically when I was still one myself, volunteering with various youth programs and initiatives throughout the city in my early teens. When I began working on cruise ships, I started as a youth counselor, then coordinated the Teen program as assistant manager, and eventually graduated to Youth Manager. Besides the genuine enjoyment I get from working with children, I've found the recurring theme is the ability to naturally connect with kids at any age, and 'meet them on their level', so to speak. I spent over a decade facilitating programs, and that's exactly what I can provide to you and your family — to care for your children on your behalf, as an extension of you and your parenting style. However, I also bring diversity: I can help with homework, bring arts & crafts projects to life, get actively involved with sports, or plan a fun outing, activity, or excursion in the neighbourhood or city. Perceptive, self-aware, and detail-oriented in nature, I maintain a high standard of cleanliness and am very organized — personally, as well as in my day-to-day approach to tasks and work. Although, I'm also highly adaptive, versatile, and flexible to whatever the role requires — a must when it comes to life with children. Armed with strong communication skills, incredible patience, critical thinking skills, and an easygoing presence and calm demeanor, I can confidently care for your children, nurture your home, look after your pets, and help effectively maintain your household. I also hold a valid driver's license, spotless driving record, and can assist in getting the kids where they need to be. Poised to help facilitate a warm, clean, and organized environment for you and your family, I have open and immediate availability to start whenever you're ready. I would be willing to consider full-time and part-time positions, whether it be as a nanny, driver, household manager, or housekeeper — I'm open to working in all accommodations and arrangements. A bit more about me: reflected similarly in my interests, I am equally as happy reading a good book on a rainy day or bingeing my favourite show, as I am carving fresh powder on the mountain or spending the day at the beach playing volleyball. I've been to over a hundred countries throughout my travels, love animals, trying new foods, and exploring new places. Despite my varied lifestyle, I'm ready and eager to provide the exceptional service your family deserves.
My background is in management of children's entertainment programs on cruise ships.
