Introduction
My first language is English, and I have been in French immersion since kindergarten. I have also been studying Spanish for the past few years, on and off, and have a basic understanding of the language. I believe I am a genuinely nice, down-to-earth and outgoing person who isn't afraid to try new things. I love children and babies (animals included!) and am planning to further my education with training in wilderness and primitive skills, geared towards teaching children. I have recently obtained my doula training and am very excited to start practicing. I have also just completed my undergrad (finally, after 5.5 yrs!) in psychology and sociology the University of Ottawa, and obtained my TESOL certificate in May 2014 as well.
During the past year, I have been caring for a family with two girls, ages 3 and 5. In the past, I have cared for an 11 year old boy and a 13 year old girl while their dad was working overseas for a year and their mom travelled each week. Previous to that, I have cared for a boy with type 1 diabetes (I have type 1 too!) and his older sister for 2.5 years, whom I then travelled with to Mexico City for four months. Before that, I was looking after a toddler and his newborn brother. I have CPR and first aid, and have extensive experience caring for children of varying ages, from newborn up to 10 years, as well as children with special needs. In addition to nannying, I also babysit for 4 other families on a regular basis, have been a teaching assistant at the American School in Mexico, as well as a teaching assistant at a montessori here in Ottawa.
In my spare time, I like to keep active and explore. I love to read and spend my days outside in the sun during the summer running around with friends or by myself. I am keenly interested in foraging, wild edibles, and herbalism, and spend a great deal of time teaching myself about these subjects. I spent a week of my vacation this summer volunteering with an organization called The P.I.N.E. Project in Toronto, ON teaching children about survival and wilderness skills and loved every moment of it. I enjoy yoga throughout the year and am very fond of the practice. I have a vegetable and herb garden in my backyard that I also enjoy taking care of. I am a clean person and know the importance of keeping things tidy and in order. For the most part, I follow a vegan diet (although I do eat organic & free range eggs, and would possibly be open to eating locally caught fish and/or local/organic pastured meat) and my diet mostly consists of fresh vegetables. I enjoy going to the farmer's market every Sunday and like to support our local farmers. Fresh foods are a huge part of my lifestyle and very important to me. I eat very little processed or pre-packaged foods and would ideally like to find a family that shares the same eating habits.
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 11 years old and am managing it well. I believe that this has shed some light on the small but valuable things in life. I was forced to grow up at a young age, but I think that this has helped me appreciate the world a little bit more. I have a lot more patience and I am conscious of small but important details. I play an active role in helping out with my community and volunteering - I believe it enables me to gain experience, explore new opportunities and help others. I am very responsible, understanding and a fun-loving person who would provide for your children and family together!
