I have been invited to slow down in life lately, and take a pause from all that I had been doing. At this point, I am eager to support a family in any way that I can - be it childcare, meal prep, cleaning, animal care.. part time. There is a child within me, as with everyone, and I appreciate having kids around to help nurture that aspect of myself. It is my intention to honour children exactly as they are, and to create a safe, open, loving place of acceptance while providing them with the tools and skills they need to support themselves as adults. I am independent, helpful, self-motivated, eager to learn, introspective, compassionate, inquisitive, and a seeker of change. I learn through the mistakes I make, which I like to honour in children as well. I enjoy simplicity, as well as being both in solitude and community. I strive to be unapologetically me in all that I do. I like to listen and observe. I very much feel a sense of fulfilment through contributing to something that is bigger than just me. I know there is so much out there to explore, and I take it a day at a time. I'm just figuring it out as I go... I am definitely not perfect, and try to bring as much awareness as I can to my humanness. I am not one to hide how I am feeling, which is something that I believe translates well to being around little kids - just allowing ourselves to be and show up exactly as we are, no matter how it looks. I really like singing and playing guitar, as well as writing and colouring. I enjoy preparing meals and baked goods. I like campfires, food, nature, hikes and mindful movement, perusing markets, exploring my mind and treating life as a ceremony. I am based in Victoria at the moment. I don't have a vehicle of my own, but have my full license. Looking forward to connecting!

My very first job was babysitting my younger sibling who is 4 years younger than me, which quickly translated over to watching kids in the neighbourhood and surrounding areas. I did this for many years. I eventually worked in a childminding center for a couple of years, tending to children from 6 weeks - 10+ years old. In the more recent years, I volunteered as a live-in nanny for one year, helping out with two boys (ages 3 and 6) and with home front tasks - cooking, cleaning, watching pets, etc. Majority of the places I have volunteered for the past 3 years have involved children.
