I am a 40 years old woman from Nigeria and I've recently relocated to Canada, just about a month ago. I'm thrilled about this new chapter in my life, even as I continue to cherish my roots. I come from a warm and close-knit family, teeming with younger brothers and a smattering of adorable cousins. This created a childhood that was bustling with noise, mischief and laughter.
Being the eldest daughter in the family, certain expectations invariably fell upon my shoulders. Some of these were born out of necessity, others were borne of tradition. It was a tacit understanding that as the first girl in the family, I was to embody hard work and intelligence. This unwritten law was upheld in my family, and I took it as my own personal challenge. Through this, I quickly learned how to navigate a variety of situations, including the art of cleaning. A skill often considered mundane yet requires a considerable amount of effort, discipline, and attention to detail.
This responsibility taught me that every job, no matter how small or seemingly trivial, played a significant role in promoting wellness and harmony within a family and even within a community. This outlook has allowed me to view life from a unique perspective, and I continue to apply it in Canada, my new home where I am eager to make a positive impact.
I am a fun and easy-going person who is aware of her surroundings and the safety of others. I always prioritize others before myself. Furthermore, I have an affinity for children, largely because I've had the privilege of caring for many during my life.
I find joy in caring for children, as well as reading and teaching.
I worked as an early childhood educator in Nigeria. I create a fun and safe environment for children so they can be their selves and have lots of fun
I have two children of my own of which the eldest is 15 and very good in nature
