I have extensive experience working with children in both professional and educational settings, caring for children ranging from newborns to school-aged youth. My childcare journey began through volunteer opportunities and has grown into several leadership, educational, and nannying roles that have strengthened my ability to support children's development, learning, and well-being.
As an Assistant Supervisor for a children's day camp, I helped oversee daily operations, supervised staff and campers, organized activities, ensured safety protocols were followed, and created a positive, engaging environment for children of varying ages.
During my gap year, I worked as a live-in nanny in England caring for two young girls. In this role, I was responsible for daily routines, meal preparation, educational and recreational activities, school-related responsibilities, and providing a nurturing and supportive environment while living abroad independently.
While completing my Honours Bachelor of Child and Youth Studies, I worked as a Teaching Assistant at Brock University, where I supported student learning, facilitated discussions, assisted with coursework, and strengthened my communication and leadership skills.
I have also volunteered through Brock University in both a children's reading program and a children's movement program. These experiences involved working one-on-one and in small groups with young children to promote literacy, confidence, physical activity, and social development through engaging and age-appropriate activities.
Currently, I am a nanny for two young boys. I began caring for the youngest when he was just two weeks old, giving me valuable hands-on experience with newborn care, infant development, feeding schedules, sleep routines, diapering, and supporting a growing family. As the children have grown, I have continued to plan enriching activities, encourage developmental milestones, maintain daily routines, and provide a safe, loving, and structured environment.
Through these experiences, I have developed strong skills in child development, behaviour management, activity planning, communication with families, and creating meaningful relationships with children. I am passionate about fostering environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn, grow, and thrive.
My name is Roma, and I have a strong passion for working with children and supporting their growth, development, and well-being. I recently completed an Honours Bachelor of Child and Youth Studies with a Minor in Women's and Gender Studies, where I gained extensive knowledge of child development, behaviour, family dynamics, mental health, and youth engagement. I am also working toward obtaining my Montessori MACTE certification to further expand my understanding of child-centred learning and development.
My experience working with children spans a variety of settings. I have worked with children and youth through educational, recreational, and caregiving roles, supporting their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. My background includes providing supervision, planning engaging activities, promoting positive behaviour, building meaningful relationships with children and families, and creating safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive.
Through my education and hands-on experience, I have developed strong communication, organization, problem-solving, and leadership skills. I enjoy creating age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, independence, learning, and confidence while ensuring children feel supported and cared for. I am patient, dependable, energetic, and dedicated to fostering positive experiences for every child in my care!
I am seeking a nanny position where I can bring my knowledge, experience, and genuine love for working with children to support a family and contribute positively to their children's daily lives and development!
