I am a professional caregiver who recently relocated from Montreal to Toronto. With over 8 years of dedicated experience—ranging from high-energy daycare environments to sensitive one-on-one support for children with special needs—I bring a calm, patient, and highly organized presence to every home. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children feel seen, heard, and encouraged to explore their creativity. Background & Experience Specialized Care Expert: Since the age of 15, I have been a devoted volunteer with the Friendship Circle in Montreal. I have extensive experience supporting children and teens (ages 3–14) with diverse abilities, including ASD and ADHD. This has gifted me with a unique level of patience and the ability to adapt to any child's unique communication style. Professional Daycare Foundation: My time at Garderie Les Petits Lapins in Châteauguay sharpened my ability to manage groups, implement educational routines, and maintain the highest standards of safety and hygiene. Private Family Support: I have a proven track record with private families in Montreal, providing everything from school transitions and healthy meal prep to homework tutoring and structured play. Interests & Hobbies I am a firm believer in "active play" over screen time. As someone with a deep passion for storytelling and creative writing, I love engaging children in imaginative role-play, reading, and arts and crafts. I am also an advocate for physical fitness and the outdoors; I enjoy organizing park outings and active games that promote health and coordination. Top Attributes for Employers Reliability: I view childcare as a professional career and pride myself on punctuality and clear communication with parents. Versatility: Whether it is managing a busy household, helping with complex homework, or providing specialized behavioral support, I remain calm under pressure. Safety First: I am CPR/First Aid trained and bring a rigorous "safety-first" mindset to every outing and activity. Multicultural Perspective: Having moved from Montreal, I bring a bilingual background and a warm, inclusive approach to diverse family dynamics.

My name is Hanan, I go by Jesse if it is easier (my middle name). I recently moved from Montreal to Toronto and am eager to continue my career in childcare within this community. With a deep-seated passion for child development and over 6 years of hands-on experience, I pride myself on being more than just a supervisor—I am an active, engaging, and reliable mentor for the children in my care. My background is unique because it includes extensive experience with both neurotypical children and those with special needs (ASD, ADHD, and Down Syndrome). This has taught me incredible patience, the importance of routine, and how to adapt my communication style to meet each child’s individual needs. I am a non-smoker, CPR/First Aid trained, and I am committed to maintaining a safe, creative, and screen-free environment."
