I have extensive combined experience as a nanny and caregiver for the elderly and am looking for a position in either of these areas in Edmonton and surrounding areas.
Childcare
I would like to start working as a full-time Nanny in Edmonton (or its surrounding areas) this summer. I am looking for a long-term position and would like to stay with you at least two years. I am a honest, committed and reliable worker and have extensive experience taking care of children of all ages, both professionally as a nanny and daycare volunteer (Edmonton), as well as privately (raised my two now grown children).
Elderly Care
I also have experience taking care of seniors, both in the context of my volunteer position in a senior centre (Capital Care Lynwood), as well as privately. I have provided care for my father who was hospitalized and later for my aunt. I assisted her in all aspects of personal hygiene, incl. feeding, bathing, dressing, diaper changes, administered medication, supported range of motion exercises and provided companionship.
What I bring to my work is my extensive experience in and passion for childcare and elderly care, my training, my housekeeping and cooking skills and my loyalty.
I would love to hear from you to further discuss this opportunity and explore whether I would be a good fit for your family.
Warm regards,
Estrella
