I am 31 years old, recently married and love living in Lynn Valley. I am a very positive, caring and empathetic person who also has a very creative and adventurous spirit. I enjoy getting outside, travelling and trying new things! I enjoy regular hikes with my almost 2 year old Sheepadoodle named Finn, big dog lover! Since I was very young I have always been drawn to working with kids of all ages whether it was throwing kids birthday parties, teaching gymnastics, nannying, teaching preschool etc I have always worked with kids.
