Nannies in Papanui

| Hi I'm Daniel, I've been enthusiastic about childcare for years, and have studied early childhood education up until NCEA level 5. I have experience as a nanny for a 9year old for almost a year previously and currently looking after a 2 year old a few hours a week cor the past year i have also had numerous babysitting jobs in the past; I'm originally from greymouth and have started branched out into babysitting or nannying in Christchurch. My specialty activities with kids are baking, reading and supported play; I also have my own car and full licence so it's easy to take trips to outdoor activities like swimming, playgrounds or after school clubs. I'm happy to cook and clean up around the house, I understand that times are tough at the moment and that kids can be a handful as is, so if I can help make your home a bit easier to manage i don't mind at all.

| My philosophy is 'creativity'- new ideas, exploration, following interests, 'respect'- for themselves, me, others, the environment, and 'empathy'- understanding emotions in others, emotional regulation. I teach children to be confident, kind and ambitious. I have worked with children since I was 15 years old in a variety of roles, and with a range of ages. I have been a babysitter, live-in nanny, live-out nanny, after school care programme coordinator, and am currently a preschool teacher for the last 4 years. I am in my first year studying towards becoming qualified as an early childhood teacher. That's all the things that formally make me a great nanny for your family! But to know me more personally.... I love being in the outdoors, which means trips to the beach, walks in the forest, swimming, and opportunities to learn about the natural world. I am a creative person, so would love to set up activities to use different materials to decorate your house with their creations. I encourage children to use their imagination to be inventive and curious. I am a calm, patient person, and I believe that makes children feel safe and listened too. I also believe it is important to have a great friendship with you so we can collaborate.

| I am always told that I'm so good with children but it's not because I'm good, it's because I love what I do, and love spending time with Children. I am fun, outspoken and friendly. I am family orientated and they come first. My experience working with children came from Au pairing my nieces back in South Africa from New born to early school.
