I'm from St. Catharines, Ontario and grew up with two sisters and a big 'daycare family'. My mother was a superstar certified daycare provider in our home for ten years. I loved growing up in a busy home and helping around the house. As I got older I would organize activities for the kids and we'd learn new things together (ie: spelling, teamwork, colors and shapes, plants and animals, etc). My experience with children and plethura of talents and interests opened up the opportunity for me to nanny for a very special family in Toronto, Ontario for two years. Being there for her and helping her become the young lady she is today was the most rewarding job I've ever had. I'm passionate about helping kids learn and become well rounded individuals. I believe in going outside, doing things by hand and from scratch, and giving kids the opportunity to be proud of themselves and excited about learning and sharing their talents.
