Hello! I am looking for a full or part-time position in which I can support your family with childcare and/or tutoring and/or cooking. I have a Masters In Education with many years experience teaching 4-10 year old children in schools and summer programs; I spent many years as well caring for toddlers in daycare programs and at home. Warm and playful, reliable and resourceful, I delight in the spirit and company of children. I particularly love reading, making art and being with children in nature, playing games and developing activities which engage their imagination and nourish their creativity. I am also a passionate and skilled vegetarian cook; my menus include soups, stews, grains, legumes, cooked vegetables and fresh salads with flavors and fragrances from diverse cuisines. Finally, I cherish animals and have three of my own. I very recently returned to Toronto after many years in the U.S (and abroad), and have multiple reviews (from Care.com) and references I can share from my work with families there. I look forward to speaking with you!
