Christine A.
My name is Christine Marie and I am a proud mother of two girls aged 8 and 2. I am a graduate of the Child and Youth Worker program at Humber College and have 15 years’ experience in the social service and mental health field working with both children and adults. I have also completed the Griffin Center Dual Diagnosis course at George Brown College. I was employed as a Teacher with Little Tots’ Manor working with preschool children in a n academically enriched environment and relief at Vita Community Living supporting adults with both physical and developmental disabilities. These experiences have provided me with many opportunities to improve my skills and expand my learning. I feel that my experience make me a strong candidate to work with your family. In particular, because I am an extremely patient person, I possess the ability to work through a variety of workplace settings efficiently and I am proficient at providing support to where ever needed.
