I am a 35 year old female and I have lived in Calgary my whole life. I have been working with children since I first took my babysitters course when I was 12 years old. I have experience with children from 6 weeks old to early teens, including some experience with special needs children. I love watching children grow and explore their world and enjoy providing as many opportunities for learning and creativity as I can. I have a current Standard First Aid/CPR C certification as well as a current AED certification. I have obtained police checks for previous jobs and would be willing to do so again.
