Child Care in Fernie

| I have been working with children for many years, when I was still in school I volunteered to help teach gymnastics to students in lower years and then later on became a qualified instructor. I am also a swim teacher and I am capable of instructing large groups of kids of different ages. I have spent 2 summers in Texas with Camp America as a counsellor to young girls, whilst I was there I had to supervise the campers 24 hours a day and teach swimming and field sports. My career so far has been very rewarding because I love helping children learn and seeing them improve. Furthermore I am First Aid and CPR trained and my experience as a lifeguard has made me comfortable with emergency situations. I enjoy being outdoors or spending time doing arts & crafts and I love taking care of animals. My 2 year visa begins this October and I am available for either part time or full time work.

I am looking for live out, but am open to live in for the right family :) My job Included watching the kiddos for two hours before school, lunches packed . Take the kiddos to school , and then after school activities like gymnastics, swimming ect !

Im extremely reliable, responsible and passionate :) I would love to hear from you if you have any questions :)

| I really enjoy spending time with young people and find their curiosity about the world around them inspiring. I am a mature, responsible and patient person. I understand that childcare is a huge responsibility and your children's safety and wellbeing will be my priority. I love the outdoors and being active. I also enjoy reading (out loud to inquisitive minds especially) and believe in trying to limit screen time as much as possible. I am capable of domestic duties such as cooking healthy meals, laundry and cleaning. I have been working in the professional sector since graduating university but I am looking for different work while on my 2 year working visa. If you think we could be a good fit please do not hesitate to get in touch.

| An awareness of particularly the challenges in addition to success’ I have faced throughout my own development has made me passionate about enabling and caring for other young people. I have channeled this passion into my experiences over the years working with children of all ages and abilities from a variety of countries including the US, Cambodia and France since the age of 18. I more recently cared for a 6 and 3 year old in Fernie, BC last winter, cooking, cleaning, entertaining as well as giving lifts to the kids in my care. I have a calm and nurturing temperament but as a snowboarder, runner, climber and aerial yoga instructor also feel I have a lot of energy to offer a child. Happy to do most household and childcare tasks and have my own transport. Would love to talk more if you have any questions. References available upon request.

| Hi I am Rebecca and I am from Australia. I am here in Fernie to experience my first Winter. I have over 8 years experience working as a child care giver in day care settings, home settings (nanny) and babysitting on weekends etc. I recently became a nurse and have 2 years working as a neonatal nurse. I love to travel and spent the last year in Latin America. I am excellent with babies and children. I am confident, calm and fun. I am happy for any associated duties. Light cooking and cleaning, homework, sports or swim practice, you name it. I have a Canadian work visa, drivers licence, and police screening for Australia.

| I am a 26 year old Australian who has many years experience caring for and teaching a range of different children with varying ages and abilities. Back home in Australia I coordinated a before and after school care program while studying outdoor recreation and education at university. After completing my degree I worked in a secondary school teaching Physical Education, Outdoor Education and Health, as well as casual relief teaching in many primary schools. During my time in Canada I have gained much more experience in babysitting children aged 6 weeks to 12 years old and find this job fulfilling and rewarding.
