Sitter in Richmond, British Columbia

I have just returned to Canada from spending a year volunteering in rural India educating 5 students, preparing them for the International Baccalaureate. I designed and implemented curriculum that catered to the specific needs of my students. I have also worked as a dance teacher for 2 years instructing children ages 3 - 12 in Ballet, Jazz, and Hip-Hop. During this time I also volunteered for 3 consecutive years as a camp counselor and activities coordinator for a weekend bereavement camp called Camp Skylark. In my first year at Pearson College in 2010 I lead a project in my home community of Hope, where I held free international dance, singing, and theatre classes for 30 children ages 5 - 10. We put together a performance at the local primary school and in addition collected food for the food bank as the entry fee. I have worked with children from a very young age. I took my first babysitting job at the age of 10. Since then, I have worked with a variety of children from different backgrounds with different needs. I often volunteer in my mother's grade 3 classroom assisting children with special needs, assisting with special art projects or attending field trips. I am currently house sitting for a family in Sooke, looking after their dog. I enjoy house cleaning and am happy to engage with children and pets.
