About Me
I am the eldest of five children, so I have always been a responsible, guiding person in their lives at the same time staying "young at heart" enough to play and have a great time. I grew up on a farm and love the outdoors, animals and getting dirty.
I was an avid equestrian as a child and young adult and taught riding lessons in early adulthood. I am also my friends and family's go to girl for party planning (specifically kids parties) as I love entertaining and organizing fun activities.
Reading and Arts and Crafts are big passions of mine also. (I paint semi-professionally, mostly animals and pet portraits) I think art is a great medium for children to learn and believe children should be read to every day. I also love to cook and bake (and eat. ) and love to find new healthy recipes for my husband and I to enjoy. We are also avid campers and are very outdoorsy (we slept in a barn loft on our wedding night and camped for our honeymoon. )
I have two "fur-babies" (a German Shepherd Mix and a Beagle) who I love to spoil and a very handsome horse who likes banana's and Maple Dip donuts from Tim Hortons. I believe a life surrounded with children and animals is the best life anyone could ask for.Have been a babysitter, nanny, tutor and instructor in the past
