I am a very patient and kind individual who loves to laugh and always finds the positive in every situation. I love to be active and wellness is very important to me. I am a trained fitness professional with experience in individual and group training, as well as nutrition and wellness. I have raised 3 children of my own and worked as a resident aid in long-term care. I find the role of caregiver a very rewarding one. I love to cook and enjoy making healthy, balanced meals. I am very tidy and organized both in my home, and in my employment. I love children and animals and am a very gentle soul. When necessary, I am able to be firm but always kind.

I have raised 3 children who are now grown and independent with children of their own. I am a big believer in fostering a love of reading and creating a fun learning environment, particularly in the formative years (ages 1-5) and beyond. I enjoy engaging with children in activities that let them use their imagination and creativity, while developing curiosity and critical thinking skills. I feel that limiting screen-time is beneficial and important and love to have silly, fun, creative conversations and collaborative playtime.. Song, dance, and story-telling are my specialties and getting outside to play and learn about nature is magical! I love caring for and working with children and enjoyed volunteering to lead groups on school trips even when working full-time. I love to teach and watch children learn in their own unique ways and with their own learning styles. I have worked with the vulnerable sectors as a fitness trainer, as well as in long-term care as a resident aid. I am willing to update my CPR training and can obtain an up-to-date vulnerable sector search.
