Sitter in Ottawa, Ontario

I am currently 19 years of age and have been taking after children since the age of 12. CPR & First Aid Certified I have taken one year of Child and Youth Care at Algonquin College but am taking the year off to decide on what I truly wish to pursue as a career. In the past I have gained experience working with children of all ages. I did a semester of CO-OP in high school at St Gabriel's Catholic Elementary School in Kanata working as a teachers assistant in Anna Ferabee's grade 2 class. During high school I was also able to work one on one with children who have disabilities and high needs such as autism, downs syndrome, and ADHD. During my youth I partook in drama and dance classes which I am still very fond of to this day. I always enjoyed doing artistic activities of all sorts. For me sharing my creative and artistic abilities is a huge part of why I love working with children. To help teach and encourage the activities that I love and to see the kids also enjoying them is a very special feeling.
