Babysitting available on flexible hours
| I come from Quebec, so I speak French, English and a bit of Spanish. Me and my children moved to Nanaimo 8 years ago for me to attend university here. I also homeschooled my children for about three years. I have experience as a babysitter and a training in special need care. My children are back to school, and I have availability to babysit in the week and on weekends. My schedule is flexible, and I can accommodate last minute needs. I am a very caring and loving person as well as creative and active. I will bring your child in nature, on bus rides, on different activities, etc. I love being with children and I do take my babysitting jobs at heart. I choose to work with children because I love being with them and it also gives me the flexibility I want to either be at home or out and about and work on my creative projects on my free time such as writing. With your child (children), we will be in nature and doing activities outside the house for most of the day. We will have fun, I promise!

| I have many years experience in caring for children. I started babysitting when I was 15 years old and the age range that I have experience caring for is 6 months old - 12 years old. I have done overnight babysitting in the child's home many times. Some of the children that I have cared for have had a diagnosed disability such as: Asperger's Syndrome, diabetes and speech difficulties.

I also hold a certificate in school and community support worker from Vancouver Island University which has provided me with the skills to care for children with varying disabilities. I currently have a once a week commitment babysitting a 5 year old and 3 month old.
