highly experienced and reliable, ever cheerful, diligent and kind.
I'm a Canadian who has been living in the UK for 30 years. Covid has extended my sabbatical, and I have decided to remain here in very safe Beautiful BC.
My current family is relocating to 100 Mile, and I wish to remain near to my mother who lives on the North Shore.
I am seeking a position in the Greater Vancouver area, and happy to consider the Fraser Valley, Bowen Island or Squamish.
At present I am working in a 4 generation home, caring for the 87 year old great-grandmother who is bedridden after a catastophic stroke, as well as working with her 3 great grandchildren, ages 13, 9 and 5.
I help with the home schooling and have a principal role as Behavioural Interventionist for the 5 year old with ASD & ADHD.
My 21 years experience as a university lecturer, both undergraduate and postgraduate, has been a tremendous asset in taking on the role of nanny/teacher.
My whole career has been steeped in caring and I have a wide experience, from gynaecology & fertility to obstetrics, as well as paediatric certification plus my long experience of working with the elderly.
I bring a youthful energy coupled with 5 decades of experience and maturity.
I look forward to hearing from you, and to have the opportunity for us to explore if I might be a good fit for your family.

I'm a Mom.
I am unflappable.
There is no sort of work I cannot handle,
AND I really do make the best buttermilk biscuits...
