from Christchurch
Hi! My name is Ivory 😊 I’m a Canadian studying Teacher Education at the University of Canterbury. I’ve worked as a nanny in Canada for 6 years and am looking for a family (or two) who value intentional, reliable, and thoughtful care. I’d love to build a meaningful connection while I’m here in New Zealand. 🌟 What I offer • Experience with all ages, including twins and children with disabilities • First Aid & Police Check certified • Focus on nature, creativity, and consistent routines 🎒 A day with me might include • Outdoor adventures, parks, library visits, swimming, or seasonal outings • Arts & crafts, sensory play, baking, and simple science fun 💖 My approach • Encouraging independence and confidence • Supporting empathy, boundaries, and emotional awareness through gentle guidance 🧺 Happy to help with • Light cleaning, laundry, dishes, meal prep • School pick-up and drop-off 📅 Availability Seeking part-time work (10–20 hrs/week), mainly after-school care. Due to teaching placement, I’m available after 4pm weekdays, with flexibility for mornings, evenings, and some weekends. If this sounds like a good match, I’d love to hear from you! References available. Looking forward to meeting your family 💛

I love getting messy with kids or creating sensory activities... slime and explosions, and home made play-dough are my go to. I also love getting out of the house and going for walks/bikes going to the park or engaging with the other neighbourhood kids.
