Natalee, gardienne d’enfants - R2W Winnipeg (point douglas east)

I believe the one thing that a care giver needs above all else is organization and patience. Children need to have a sense of stability, but also need to be allowed to have a bit of freedom in their own actions as well. A successful caregiver needs to be able to give individual attention to each child, and then also as a group, making each child feels special. Naturally, every family is different and every child reacts differently- so I believe friendship is key. Gaining the trust and respect of the child is most important... If a child doesn't respect you, they rarely listen to you. I don't believe in anger, violence, or threats to force children into behaving, most children simply desire to feel like that you respect them. Individual, one on one attention that makes them feel that you understand them. To me, that's the trick in a multiple child household. I love playing at the park, hiking the trails and swimming. My favorite places to go are the zoo, library and Science museum. I am looking for a place where I can be respected for what I do and be happy doing it. I believe my experiences and track record make me an excellent fit for this opportunity. I have my CPR and First Aid certificates. I was a big part of my nephews life, I watched him from the time he was 2 days old to 2 to 3 years old. He is now 14 years old. Thank you for your time.
