Hello parents. I am a talented and kindhearted professional with extensive childcare and educational programming experience. A native of New England, I moved to Canada to attend University of Toronto several years ago and recently finished my Bachelor's in International Relations and History. I am passionate about holistic, healthy living and I have a background in mindfulness-based stress reduction and conflict resolution, which contributes to my outstanding ability to connect and engage with children. I am highly patient, energetic, and creative, and willing to work with families to fit seamlessly into their lifestyle in order to strike a perfect balance in the child-caregiver dynamic.
