A little bit about me
A little bit about me... I'm a teacher and early childhood educator with 20 years of experience in daycare and elementary teaching. I love to travel and have had the opportunity to live overseas in Korea and Indonesia. My 6-year-old daughter, born in Jakarta, is a super cool kid who keeps life exciting. I’m passionate about working with children and helping them grow in both education and life skills. I enjoy bringing creativity, fun, and a nurturing environment into everything I do, whether it's in the classroom or out exploring the world!

A little bit about me
Hello parents and guardians, my name is Shauntia, I am a graduate from Acadia and I am currently taking courses through UCSB to become a Child Life Specialist.
I have experience working in various daycare settings, where I had the opportunity to care for children of different ages and abilities. This has provided me with a solid foundation in creating nurturing environments.
Additionally, I have volunteered with Acadias SMILE program, which allowed me to interact with children who have a variety of disabilities. I currently volunteer with Ronald McDonald House in the IWK.
I also have experience working with BGC and the YMCA as an after school program leader/summer camp counselor with children from the ages of 5-12. Being an after school program leader I learned how to develop age appropriate activities to foster healthy growth and development while still creating a fun environment!
note* I currently volunteer in the mornings until 1 on Tuesdays until the end of June.
