Seeking part or full time nanny / caregiving / cleaning / assistant work in or near Carp. I've been a half-time nanny (4 kids, 2-9) and handyman + house cleaner for a little over a year now and really enjoy it. More recently, a WYP volunteer (kids 8-11, I've been livescanned). I'm fun, playful, sensitive and sincere. I'm 41, been coupled up for 15 years, have had a fancy corporate life, built/ran a small natural foods business for 8 years, and I'm now into getting kids outdoors and/or around music, and more generally any sort of caregiving (elders too). I love animals, have kept cats and dogs and plants, have been a homeowner and landlord, and can keep a house happy. I realize I'm not your typical demographic, but please consider me if you're in need of help! References available.
