A little bit about me
As a university student hoping to go into early childhood education, I am looking to further my experience in childcare. In my earlier years, I was a babysitter in and around my neighbourhood to children ranging from 4 to 10. I later became a mother's helper which included daily household upkeep and caring for a 1-year-old. Further, I worked with children ages 6-14 as an overnight camp counsellor. For the past two summers, I worked as a full-time summer nanny for 3 boys ages 4-11 in Toronto and am hoping to continue that work here in Halifax!!
I am currently available for both part-time and full-time summer work including childcare, household help and pet care as well as a combination of all! Please let me know of your specific requests and we can discuss them further!
I look forward to hearing from you and talking further!

How to Hire a Summer Nanny in Halifax, NS
Nanny Lane helps you find a summer nanny in Halifax, NS to take care of your children while school is out.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Summer Nanny?
A summer nanny is a nanny who works during the school break, for the full summer or for part of it. Summer nannies are often teachers, college students, or experienced nannies who prefer seasonal work, so families can find help when school-age children are home during the day.
Common Responsibilities of Summer Nannies in Halifax, NS
Summer days are less structured than the school year. A summer nanny plans activities such as park visits, swimming, crafts, and day trips, prepares meals and snacks, and may take children to camps or classes. For younger children, they keep up the usual nap and mealtime routines.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Start your search early, since good summer nannies are booked quickly. Decide your start and end dates, your weekly hours, and whether you need flexibility around camps, vacations, or travel. Be clear about transportation, and about whether you need the nanny to drive. If your dates might change, say so up front.
Summer Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Which dates are you available this summer?
- Are you able to adjust if our dates or hours change?
- What activities would you plan for the children during the day?
- Are you comfortable driving, including to camps and activities?
- Do you have experience with children of our children's ages?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
