I have a specialized honours bachelor’s degree in English literature, as well as a certificate in technical writing. I went to York University on a full academic scholarship, and was the recipient of a number of top performance awards along the way. My husband and I live in Cabbagetown with our sweet cat, and my hobbies include knitting, ceramics, reading, travelling, and yoga, to name a few. I’m caring, empathetic, creative, patient, and positive, and I thoroughly enjoy the experience of getting to know children for who they are as individuals. Working with children has been a lifelong love of mine, and most recently I enjoyed working as an English teacher in South Korea with toddlers all the way through to middle schoolers. My work with children began young as a summer camp volunteer where I worked one-on-one with children with autism, which was an absolute joy and a great introduction to childcare in general. In my teenage years I was the neighbourhood babysitter before becoming a regular nanny and pet sitter for two wonderful families in particular while I was in high school and university. I am experienced in working with all ages and energy levels and am very comfortable around pets of any type and size. As a young adult, I have the energy to keep up with rambunctious children while still abiding by the rules set by parents and maintaining a safe environment. I can work flexible hours including late/overnight shifts, and am very punctual and respectful of the schedules of the families I work with.

Currently pursuing a bilingual International Bachelor of Arts in English. I was awarded York University's Governor's Award of Distinction: Betty Jean and John M. Banks Entrance Scholarship, their most prestigious scholarship, as well as their residency scholarship for my first year of studies. I am going into my second year this September. I am among the top scholars and have obtained a position as a professor's apprentice through this title.
