Alexandra, nanny in Calgary T3S

I am a 22 year old University graduate looking for a full-time summer nanny position. I absolutely love children and have lots of experience in interacting with children in different situations, from working as a reading aid, to volunteering as a peer educator, to coaching swim lessons, to working as a nanny for two children last Summer.

A little bit about myself: I graduated this Spring with a Health Studies degree from Queen's University. Upon graduating I will be travelling to South America to work as a peer educator for 6 weeks, teaching all facets of health education to children of all ages. I have a passion for engaging with children in energetic and positive manners and try to entertain them with active and exciting activities. I have been told that I have a very high level of patience, and also feel comfortable following any discipline guidelines or techniques set out by the parents. I love cooking, dogs, and anything to do with the outdoors. I am looking for a position that, aside from child-minding, would also call for cleaning duties, household chores, taking kids to extracurriculars, and (nutritious!) meal prepping/grocery shopping I have a vehicle and could potentially be available for live-in on some nights and weekends. I live in Southwest Calgary so something in that vicinity would be ideal, but not necessary!
