I've been offering child care in different capacities for over 10 years, and feel grateful for the opportunities that working with children has brought me. I have worked doing casual child care, have travelled with families to help out with their kids, have worked with youth in volunteer programs, have worked as a child care provider abroad, and have worked as a full time nanny. My strong suits lie in offering attentive, compassionate and genuine care to families. I value real connection, play, time spent outdoors, and creative expression, and have seen the many ways that sharing those things with children generates healthy curiosity and hands-on learning. I strive to be present, understanding and loving, and to communicate clearly and openly with parents and children alike. I'm responsible, respectful and positive, and am very adaptable to different family structures and routines. I'm competent at household tasks and am happy to incorporate laundry, cooking and cleaning, etc. I'd be happy to talk more and meet with families to find a good fit for myself and for your family. Look forward to hearing from you.
