I have a Graduate Diploma of Education, an Honours degree in psychology, and several years' of experience working with children aged 0-5 in kindergarten and long daycare settings. I have also worked with primary school-aged children as a nanny/babysitter, and I have an 11-year-old.
I am patient, kind, and joyful, and I love working with children. Some of my favourite activities to do with children are reading books, playing games, making art, exploring the outdoors, and going on outings to places like the museum. I am happy to follow the interests of each child, whether it be reading the same book 20 times or getting on my hands and knees to play with them. My own interests include swimming, yoga, meditation, art, travel, and playing guitar.
I choose not to work with children when they or I have infectious illnesses. I hope to find families who are on the same page about that.
I currently have flexibility with times, so feel free to reach out even if my schedule doesn't say that I'm available.
I did my first aid, asthma and anaphylaxis 2 years ago, so my CPR is not current. I'm happy to redo the CPR or the full course if necessary.
