Child Care in Kelowna

| My name is Jess and I’m from Australia here in Canada on a 2 year working visa! I love children that’s why my past jobs have all been with working with kids. I have worked in a childcare centre for 4 years and was a private nanny for a year and a half. I have my certificate 3 in childcare and my first aid and cpr certificates are up to date. I’m fun loving and love a child’s perspective it’s one of my favourite parts of my job. If you would like to talk more feel free to message me.

| *I will be returning to school in September, but would love to work around my school schedule* Since I was born my family has run a licensed in-home daycare so I have spent my whole life surrounded by kids. As soon as I was old enough, I got certified in Childcare First Aid and CPR, so I was able to help out with the kids at daycare. I usually help out with the simple daily tasks like, light housekeeping, meal prep, changing diapers, and helping the older kids with crafts, games and books. Most of my experience is with Early school aged children (1-6yrs) however I am open to learning and am very adaptable! I’m the past, I was also a Kick and Run coach for 3-6 year olds, where I helped teach the fundamentals and basics of Soccer! I am currently in school to get my Bachelor of Education in hopes of becoming an elementary school teacher! If there’s anything I didn’t cover, or if you have any questions, feel free to reach out! Looking forward to hearing from you!

| Hello! A little about me; I’m a kid’s piano teacher (m-f 3-7pm). I’m hoping that my schedule makes sense for a family out there! Buuut, I have a very open schedule in July and August, if anyone is looking for summer care! I’d ultimately like to spend my time doing something I enjoy, that helps out my community, expands my mind and my heart. Helping out with childcare & spending quality time checks all those boxes. I love being outside, no matter the season, and am very musical/artsy-craftsy. I started babysitting when I was 12 years old, worked as a nanny in the summers through university, and am comfortable with all ages from newborn to teen. I've spent the last decade working as a private piano teacher, specializing in teaching children ages 4 to 18. Finding a family that can work around my teaching hours would be amazing, as I'm looking to have the best of both worlds here. Eek! Feel free to ask more and get to know me. I look forward to hearing from you! Ashley

| I worked at the YMCA/YWCA on Fermor as a youth programs soccer and basketball coach. I also worked the summer and winter day camps at the same location. My latest experience working in childcare was as a camp counsellor for Camp Douglas an overnight camp run by the YMCA. I am also fully vaccinated and have the card to prove it.

| My love for children began at a very young age. It started with volunteering in the nursery at my church when I was only twelve and continued to grow from there. I began babysitting at the same age for three young girls and continued to babysit for many other families all throughout high school. When I was thirteen I was offered a job in a daycare doing odd jobs and some clean up. It wasn't what I had hoped for but during this time I learned a lot about child behaviour and my love for kids continued to grow. I spent two years coaching gymnastics to children between the ages of two and fifteen. This job was very challenging and definitely taught me patience. For the past year I have been working in a daycare in Winnipeg as a Child Care Assistant but I hope to relocate to Kelowna to be closer to my family. I absolutely adore children, even when they can be a handful. It's amazing to be given the opportunity to experience them develop their own personality and reach each important stage in their life. I am very passionate about kids and understand that the early years in their life are extremely important to their overall development. I would love to be a part of something so vital and I hope that you will consider me when making this decision.

| Hi! I'm a new mom of an 8-Month-old little girl named Charli! Looking to put my energy and focus on getting back to work! I love working with children, every day is a new day and every moment you can find something new to learn! Amongst being able to teach as I go I like to also be able to learn, learn what works best and how each child has individual needs. With the right position, I would need to be able to find childcare for my daughter before the start date, unless there is any flexibility with her being able to go to work with me, provided the job would be fulfilled to satisfaction of course. With experience coordinating an out of school care program of 70+ children in enrolment I am comfortable and confident I can provide a great service to the right family. If you feel this is something you would consider, I would be happy to hear from you. Thank you for your time, Megan Maylor

| I am a very patient person and love being around kids! I live in Black Mountain but I work in West Kelowna. I can help any family anywhere in between! I have babysat my younger cousins, family friend's children, my neighbor's children, I've even taken care of family pets while their owners were on vacation! In addition to strictly child care, I have done light housekeeping, yard work, and even dropping off kids to school/appointments. I'd love to help in any way needed! For example, assisting in meal prepping, housework, cooking for the family, laundry, dishes, and even dropping off/picking up to school/appointments/anywhere. Currently, I work full-time as a fishmonger at Buy the Sea in West Kelowna, as well as pursuing a Bachelor of Science Degree at UBCO. In my spare time I'd love to help out local families, especially during this pandemic! Everyone could use a helping hand :)

| Hi my names Kaitlin, I'm 18 years old and am looking for a full or part time childcare position. I love kids so much and have been told I'm very good with them. I childminded at world gym for 2 years and loved it so much. I have experience with children from ages 4 months-12+ years. I'm very outgoing and active. I also have 2+ years of experience in housekeeping.

| The past three months I was away doing outreach. I was in Nepal and South Africa, and a lot of our time was spent helping in day cares. The ages ranged from 3 years old to 7 years old. We helped feed them, played games with them and put them down for naps. My time there showed me that I love working with children and it taught me about responsibly and child-care. We also had a 1 year old baby travelling with us and I helped take care of him. I would watch him, play with him and feed him. I am highly capable of taking care of children, and I truly love it.
