Natasha, babysitting à Edmonton (west clareview / east londonderry)

Good Day! My name is Natasha , a recent University of Alberta science graduate looking for some summer work around Edmonton and Sherwood park. I am available only from May - August as I will be starting Dental school in September 2016. I have had experience watching family members, including both of my younger sisters and my cousins. Additionally, I was an assistant dance teacher for upwards of 4 years, giving me experience with children ages 1-17. I believe my experience as a dance teacher and assistant teacher allowed me to develop a balance between discipline and fun for children of all ages. It taught me how to deal with 'moody' teens as well as younger children who were wailing for their mothers. I believe the skills I acquired will stand me in good stead when it comes to caring for your children.
I also have experience teaching children with special needs, including autism and down syndrome. Though I have never babysat a child with special needs, I believe that my experience teaching them gave me great insight as to the uniqueness of every child, and I learned how to quickly adapt to a child's specific needs.
