A little bit about me

Hi there, I'm Amber, 27, and a graduate from SFU with my MA degree in linguistics. I've been working with children of all ages for around 12 years in a variety of different ways. I have experience working in church settings, overnight camps, summer day camps, summer parks and recreation programs, and nannying/childcare. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, and have a TEFL certificate (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).

I love language, education, travel, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, reading, baking/cooking, and working with people of all ages, especially children. I especially love doing enriching activities with young kids, like building forts, going to the zoo, baking (safely!) and anything else that may help them grow as people. I look forward to hopefully meeting and working with you and your children in the future!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Most recently I was the head instructor for the Junior camp at SFU summer camps; this meant I handled the lessons and teaching for the 4-6 year olds, among other responsibilities. Prior to moving to Vancouver, I worked with a few different families (about a year each) as a part or full time nanny for boys that ranges between 2 and 7 of age. In addition, I have spent many summers working in overnight and day camps, in summer lunch programs, and as a babysitter; all of this accumulates to over twelve years of experience working with kids of all ages.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

For indoor activities, I love board games, baking, doing art and science projects. For outdoor activities, I'm a big fan of kid-friendly hikes, heading to playgrounds, exploring local museums, and regular library visits.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think open communication, both with the parents and the kiddos, is the most important part of any job, especially this one. I firmly believe in maintaining open communication, so you'll never have to worry what might be happening during the day.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments was leaving my last job, when I realize my nanny kid had filled out an All-About-My-Nanny sheet, similar to the kind of thing he'd done in preschool for his mom or dad. I was touched at how much he'd remembered, and how much fun he'd had working with me over our year together. I also love developing little routines with each kid; playgrounds after school, Ikea visits, library story time, etc., are all moments I hold dear.
