My Summary

My Experience

I am a passionate and personable educator and nanny, originally from Arizona. My childcare background includes professional private nannying for multiple families (children between the ages of 1-10), various roles in a children’s centre, including being a two year old classroom lead teacher and school age aftercare lead teacher, and overseeing children’s ministry programs in a church and teaching weekly in a church Sunday school. I graduated with honours with a degree in an elementary education and taught primary school in Arizona. I have not yet gone through the process to re-qualify to teach here.

Through my work, studies and teaching, I gained experience managing behaviour, teaching a variety of skills, engaging children in activities, maintaining flexibility, and developed strong planning abilities. I believe children function best with routine, so I generally maintain a schedule. I have experience creating healthy and nutritious meals for children and care deeply about my own nutrition and health at home.

I love being outdoors for walks and play, story telling and theatre, singing, crafting, and engaging in other fun activities. I can speak a conversational level of Spanish.

I have two children, ages 9 month old and 2.5 years. I have been home full time with them (and loving it!) since my eldest has been born. He is soon entering nursery. I'm now available for flexible work, either with my children in tow, or during hours my husband is available to care for our children.

Please note, I am not a registered childminder. I am seeking informal work at the moment.
