A little bit about me

Hi there! I've recently graduated with my degree in Psychology and I am eager to lend support to families and children as we continue to navigate these unprecedented times. For Covid concerns, I live alone with my dog and have been very diligent in adhering to social-distancing/mask-wearing guidelines, and have just received my second dose of the covid vaccine!
A little more about me, I have happily worked with children for several years in a variety of settings. I've been a substitute teacher for the last 2 years (elementary and middle-school age), a volunteer support tutor for refugee children, as well as work experience in mental health on the adolescent unit. I've always had a strong care-taking personality that I get from my lovely mother, from sitting to cleaning, household chores, and cooking! I know it can be challenging and daunting to find the right sitter so I am more than happy to answer any questions that will help you feel more comfortable. : )
