Family's Message to Nannies

Hi there, First of all, I would like to start by saying that if you are looking for a fun, loving, and honest family who will bring you into their lives and treat you like you are one of the family, then we are what you are looking for! We are from a smaller community just 10-15 minutes away from Calgary and <1hr to Banff/Mountains. We enjoy being outdoors and are involved in all of our children's activities. Our sons absolutely lives for sports, including hockey, soccer, baseball, golf and if you have any interest in snowboarding or skiing, they'll have you off to our Calgary Olympic Park (15min drive) every chance they can!! They are in French Immersion School so if anyone has an interest in teaching/learning French at home, it would be greatly appreciated (Ha Ha -being from the West, we know very little--but have enjoyed learning with them!)And lastly,but most importantly, if you are someone who sees the amazing gifts that a special needs child gives YOU back, then you will love being with our daughter. She is a very happy little girl who is extremely determined and constantly curious! She is continually gaining strength and making progress and the sky is the limit! She absolutely LOVES MUSIC AND DANCE! AND SPORTS. She loves playing hockey in the garage wth her brothers and will start ski lessons in the new year. There is nothing better! She is involved in therapeutic horse riding and music lessons in the home. So, like I said, we are really wanting a person who is not just looking for a job, but that wants to experience becoming part of a family with special needs and who knows how to laugh and enjoy life. While at the same time, realizes that we are a busy family and hence, we are relying on you to give it your best and work hard takes someone very wonderful to work with children, but it takes that "extra-something" in a person to realize WHAT IT REALLY takes and what you get back is 10-fold! We are wanting a 2 yr committment but would really want as long as possible, as saying good-bye to someone we have grown to love, is hard on everyone! But if you think that we would be a family that you like to be a part of, we would love to hear from you! Anytime! I am a nurse who works part-tme and my husband is a respiratory therapist. Debra and the gang!
