Edit Warm, bright, bubbly psychotherapist with over 20 years experience; specializing in supporting new and soon-to-be parents my name is Sinead and I specialize in supporting families as a whole unit. As products of our environments, a child's life quality is only as good as the health of their surrounding ecology. As such, helping parents find time to address their needs has a manifold effect, helping them, their partners and their children. My approach to care comes from my Masters in Psychotherapy and being raised by award-winning teachers and musicians in the Montessori, gifted, and private education systems. As the oldest of 10 grandchildren, I knew my passion for children from an early age and have taken to being a responsible role model for all children as if they are my family. My passion for care giving was further realized during my travels to Africa, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and Brazil, where I volunteered as Lead Counsellor to hundreds of children over the years. More recently, I have enlisted land-based Indigenous teaching methods to kids at Clearwater Camp and the Chippewa First Nations of Georgina Island. There, I shared time in the forest creating art, foraging and cooking delicious food (think mushrooms and bannock on an open fire) and medicine with youth in stewardship of the land most of us have settled on. I lead girls' empowerment workshops where we discovered ways to tune into our bodies and our intuition when facing common social situations, such as peer pressure and body-image messaging. I also delivered workshops to expectant mums on how to incorporate healthy and wild foods, safe medicines, and financially-accessible methods of self-care. I have guided youth across America's national parks, teaching wilderness skills and ways to connect with one another, natural spaces, and to our own internal rhythms. As a counsellor, lifeguard and chef to 60 kids, I come trained in risk-management, safety protocols, logistics, and leadership coordination to help you and your family guide and discover the life path best suited for your little ones. I write children's books and provide creative workshops for kids and parents looking to express their internal world when words are not available. For this reason, I love to work with clay therapeutically to allow expression and engagement with the elements that have grounding, self-discovery, and recharging qualities. While abroad, I was a nanny for families of doctors, professors, lawyers, and entrepreneurs, nourishing their little ones with outdoor education, healthy meal preparation (with lots of hands-on sous-chefs), and frolics by the water. As a student working towards CRPO and CASC certification in the University of Toronto MPS program, I am looking to provide nurturing and enriching direct-client therapy to families in need. This includes developing organizational structures in the home, education planning, parenting strategies around grief, social issues, emotional distress, and trauma processing for parents working to prevent familial cycles from carrying on to the next generation. Over the past 20 years, I cared for dozens of families, providing overnight and evening care, home-schooling, coordination of playgroups and exploration sessions in arts, music, and nature. Through my studies of International Development and Globalization at the University of Ottawa, and my Masters in psychotherapy and Mindfulness approaches at University of Toronto, I have come to realize that the way to make the world a better place is through education and empowerment at home. As a returning counsellor for the Ontario Co-operative Young Leaders Program designed to deliver financial literacy and cooperative values tp youth ages 14-18, I have been privileged to know the meaning of contributing to my at-risk and diverse communities. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you need any guidance on how to help you and your little ones thrive. I have earned my Honours Bachelor of Social Sciences in International Development and Globalization from the University of Ottawa. I’ve worked with kids for myriad organizations for over 15 years.

I’m a highly experienced nanny and, at the age of 30, have been doing so for over half my life. I’ve loved being able to care for so many wonderful children and truly feel a part of the families that I have worked with. As a teenager taking care of children was my primary source of income, alongside various other part-time jobs. In my early twenties I took on care roles with greater responsibilities, often looking after children for weeks at a time, until I moved to England to be a full-time au pair in my mid-twenties. I lived with a family of four, taking care of their two young girls, as well as their dogs and cat. I spent two years with them, and can honestly say they were some of the best years of my life. While there, my responsibilities were numerous and wide-ranging, from managing the home to grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry and organising most aspects of the girls’ lives. It was incredibly fun and I loved the experience of getting to be so close with the family. As for my background, I originally attended Pastry School with Business Administration at Holland College, where I had a great time baking, learning and playing for the basketball and soccer teams. After graduation had yet to decide on a clear career path, so worked for a couple of years before embarking on a solo travelling experience to Australia and Europe for 5 months. My time away really opened my eyes to new opportunities and I fell in love with the idea of living abroad. Not long after I returned, I made the move to England full-time as an au pair and spent two wonderful years there. By the time I returned, I realised that my true interest lay in the field of dietetics, so began a degree here in Halifax. Prior to the COVID pandemic I had been working with a family of 6, again taking care of their children and generally managing the household. Since then I have worked in a variety of nannying and service industry roles as I complete my studies. I’m always open to the opportunity to work with another fantastic family, so please get in touch if you think we’d be a good fit! I have been involved in childcare since the age of 12, looking after kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. As my babysitting progressed, I began taking on full-time roles during summer, where my duties included cooking, cleaning, and caring for the children. Throughout my late teens and early twenties, I continued to provide childcare while parents were on vacation, in addition to regular nannying and babysitting while working full-time. In my mid-twenties, I spent two years as an au pair in England, where I managed the household and took care of the children, handling a wide range of responsibilities; cooking, cleaning, ironing, driving, organizing lives, etc. Upon returning to Canada, I balanced returning to university studies with nannying for a family of six until COVID hit in 2020. Since then, I have been actively involved in various babysitting and nannying roles, catering to children aged 0-12 years of age. I have completed a Pastry Arts and a Business Administration degree originally when I first went to university out of high school. I am currently enrolled in a Bsc of Advanced Human Nutrition (Dietetics) degree. I have taken CPR and First Aid training in the past, however I do not have a current certificate. I am happy to take a course if desired.
