I have been babysitting for family friends since I was 14 and have always loved working with children. In the summer of 2024, I worked two full-time nanny jobs, including caring for two young children (ages 2 and 3) in their home. I handled everything from daily routines to household support: preparing meals and snacks, doing light cleaning, managing laundry, organizing activities, and keeping the house running smoothly throughout the day.
I supported their preschool development through early learning activities, reading time, outdoor play, arts and crafts, and educational outings. I also handled diaper changes, potty-training routines, nap schedules, bath time, and bedtime transitions. I’m very comfortable planning fun, safe activities that keep kids active and engaged, and I believe in spending as much time outdoors as possible.
I’m currently studying at the University of Ottawa and keep my schedule organized, reliable, and flexible. I’m CPR certified and comfortable with children of all ages, including toddlers and preschoolers. I’m also great with pets — dogs, cats, or any household animals — and can help with their feeding, walks, and general care while I’m there.
Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, responsible, energetic, and easy for children to bond with. I take pride in creating a positive, safe, and fun environment where kids can learn, explore, and feel cared for.
