My professional background is in leading and supporting non-profits, and now, instead of focusing on a large group in an organization, I’m seeking a family to build connections for growth and mutual relationships. Mother Teresa spoke of the importance of personal, one-one interactions, and Gandhi taught of being the change one wants to see in the world-- hence, my commitment and passion for focusing on young children and their parents to strengthen their bonds. I am currently a nanny/helper to three children ages 11-16, and one child has special needs. I have recently been part of a nanny share with two active infants and worked for a family with two preschool aged children. Having worked with children and youth over a considerable age span, as well as adults with intellectual disabilities, I am able to adapt to multiple needs and create structured experiences for everyone. Originally from Canada and settled Read more in the US, I enjoy adventure and working with others to create new experiences for fun and learning. I value integrity, honesty, openness to possibilities, and celebrating the unique gifts of individuals. Arts, crafts, sports, cooking, baking, imaginative play, singing, Legos, going to the park- these are a few of my favourite things! I also love to knit and am starting to do strength training and run again... I ran the Chicago Marathon in 2015 and took a long break!
