I am a second-year 22-year-old student at the University of Guelph majoring in creative writing and minoring in genders, sexualities and social change. I recently moved to Ontario from Calgary, Alberta and I have several years of childcare experience, along with my Red Cross Standard Child Care First Aid with CPR B and AED Certification. I love working with children and have experience with managing multiple classes of up to 40 elementary school students. I am responsible and passionate about creating a space where children are able to be safe, have fun, and embrace their natural creativity!
