Chaylea R.
I am a 28-year-old woman who is passionate about supporting the healthy development of children and youth. With a decade of experience, I have had the privilege of working with young people in many capacities - whether as a nanny, providing overnight care during parents' vacations, serving as an au pair overseas, or caring for international students in dorm settings here on Vancouver Island. Family and friends are central to my life, and I value spending my free time with them. I am also passionate about holistic health, nature, and outdoor recreation, all of which play an important role in my personal well-being. Those who know me describe me as calm, caring, easygoing, playful, patient, and deeply compassionate. I am excited to get to know you and your family and to be a positive presence in your children’s lives!
With a decade of experience in childcare, I have worked as a dedicated nanny for children ranging from 4 months to 14 years old. Over the years, I have supported more than 15 families both in Canada and abroad, including time as an au pair in Europe. Currently, I work as a dorm parent at a boarding school in Shawnigan Lake, where I provide care and guidance to international students navigating the challenges of living away from home. My commitment to fostering safe, supportive environments for youth is backed by strong references from families and colleagues who can speak to my reliability, adaptability, and passion for childcare.
