My name is Lisa. I am a very athletic, dynamic, and experienced nanny fluent in three languages I am a former pre-K through high school teacher, working as a nanny for 8 years now. I have been nanny to five babies, (a large family), including children birth to 8, as well as a two/three, and a 5/6-year-old. I'm huge on safety, and being generous with affection, and showing each child how special, and unconditionally s/he is loved. I swim 1-200 laps a week and dance). I’m cheerful, fun-loving, and positive with children: patient, and calm, consistent, encouraging, and loving. I love reading with them and doing outdoor, as well as educational activities: Eng., Fr., or Span. Language, reading, math, science, etc. I also enjoy creative, or imaginary activities, including dressing up as pirates, etc)!
I’m gifted with an ability to build a special rapport with children. I have strategies for teaching, (or “un-teaching!”) habits, creating structure and routines, beneficial for socializing, gaining confidence, and learning to face challenges. Humour, clowning, music,(sometimes with youtube!), as well as recognition, usually go a long way in motivating them!
