A little bit about me

I am a 33-year-old compassionate, responsible, and dependable caregiver with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Honours) and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, along with current Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C certification. As a Registered Nurse (Non-Practising) and member of the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves, I bring strong leadership, organization, and a high level of safety awareness.
I have served in a dedicated nanny role for my niece and nephew from ages 1 to 8, supporting daily routines, meal preparation, hygiene, homework, structured play, and extracurricular activities. My clinical and emergency response background allows me to remain calm under pressure and prioritize child safety.
I am fluent in English and Spanish, and have beginner-level French (CEFR A1), allowing me to understand and speak basic conversational French. I strive to create a nurturing, structured, and engaging environment where children feel secure and supported.

More About Me

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

Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes earning my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Honours) and becoming a Registered Nurse (currently in the Non-Practising Class with the College of Nurses of Ontario). During my clinical placements, I provided paediatric care at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, supporting infants with complex needs, including feeding, daily care, medication administration, monitoring, and communication with families.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I truly enjoy being active with children, spending time outdoors, playing sports, going to parks, bike rides, and walks, as well as engaging in creative and educational indoor activities. I have a strong background in soccer, having played for many years, and I am comfortable swimming and supervising children in the water. I am energetic and confident leading both outdoor and indoor activities that keep children engaged, active, and safe.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is ensuring a child’s safety while creating a nurturing environment that supports their development. Children thrive when they feel secure, understood, and encouraged, so I prioritize supervision, structure, and age-appropriate activities that promote learning, confidence, and independence. Equally important is maintaining open and honest communication with parents or caregivers to ensure consistency, trust, and alignment in routines, expectations, and values. I believe a nanny plays a key role not only in caring for a child, but in supporting the entire family.

Part-Time Nanny Available in Toronto, ON: Oluwakorede A.

Hello! I'm an 18 year old who's looking for a part-time job by going back into the babysitting world. While I wouldn't have classified it as a job back then (more like volunteering, well, being volunteered), I've spent a lot of my childhood taking care of children and enjoyed doing so.

When I was younger, it was custom where I lived for children my age to take care of even younger children, and that has caused me to have a passion and love for the job.

I know that I may not seem as qualified as most other candidates on this site, but I can guarantee that you shall have no regrets hiring me to take care of your children.
