Sitter in Brampton, Ontario

Dear Parents, I was born in Toronto and grew up in Burlington Ontario. I am a Canadian Citizen, who was moved as a child to the US. When the economy tanked in the US in 2009, I moved home and have started my Life over. I LOVE kids of all ages, and they LOVE me! I taught kids preschool through 8th grade for 7 1/2 years. Before that I was a Nanny for 13 years,11 with the same family for 3 wonderful kids who have grown up to be amazing adults! I believe in strong, healthy boundaries, using a kitchen calendar, keeping kids on a consistent schedule including age-appropriate bedtimes, gentleness, clear communication, fun, joy creativity, forgiveness, hope and I believe in children. My references are impeccable and I am here to assist you in a long-term setting, to raise happy and healthy children who are literate, well-spoken, compassionate, grounded and polite. My cat Xie Xie (Shay Shay) and I need a private living space of our own. He is a very gentle, loving Burman kitty and is filled with Love! I look forward to speaking with you!
