My name is Anny and I am a recent graduate of the University of Victoria. I’m twenty-three years old and am currently taking a gap year to gain some work experience before going into a teaching program next fall. For the past two summers, I have worked at UBC Summer Camps as a Day Instructor, leading classroom-based camps focused on creative writing, crafts, and games. A little bit about me personally—having a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, I love telling stories and reading. Additionally, I enjoy a variety of arts and crafts such as crocheting, scrapbooking, sewing, and much more! I am interested in languages and am currently bilingual (English and French), hoping to soon learn a third language (German). This, in tandem with having first-hand experience in a variety of sports and outdoor physical activities, makes me more than happy to interact with kids both in sport-style games and indoor activities. Currently, I live at home with my family and am pursuing a part-time volunteer classroom position at local elementary schools, so my schedule is flexible and I’m free in the evenings! I hope to hear from you soon :)

My previous experience with childcare is varied! As a teenager, I worked as a volunteer swim coach with kids as young as three years old up to thirteen; additionally, I have a great deal of babysitting experience. Regarding babysitting, I frequently babysat for neighbours as a teenager, predominantly for the same few families, all of whom had two children. Most recently, I've spent the past two summers working at UBC Camps as a day camp instructor. In that position, I worked with kids and teens aged seven to sixteen. In that role, I worked with one or two other co-instructors with varying group sizes, often averaging about ten to fifteen children.
