Hi! My name is Rowan and I am a Kinesiology student at Acadia University. I grew up in the Westend of Halifax, NS as the youngest of 5 kids. With a big family, I grew up being very accustomed to a busy schedule and a chaotic home (at times). I am a very athletic individual, I have played sports ever since I could remember and I absolutely love watching them as well. The sports I play are Ringette and Volleyball, but I enjoy watching all sport. Throughout high school, I completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, which provided me with an amazing opportunity to challenge myself academically while also volunteering and playing sports. As a Kinesiology student, I plan on working in the health care industry after my degree. Over my next two years at Acadia I will be taking part of a program that provides students with the opportunity to work in clinical settings related to Exercise Physiology. With this program, I will also then challenge the Clinical Exercise Physiologist exam after graduation from Kinesiology. In this type of role, I would be working with a variety of individuals including symptomatic and asymptomatic populations. While my plans currently are to work as an exercise physiologist after my graduation, I have also always thought about working in occupational therapy, physiotherapy or senior health care. Outside of sports and school, my interests include drawing, crocheting, hiking, reading, and spending time with friends and family. I am a friendly, social, high energy and motivated young adult who is looking for a summer job before returning to university in the fall. I can make myself available or a variety of hours depending on what is required and I am a very quick learner. Excited to hear from you! I am a 3rd Kinesiology student who is looking to help those in her community by making a difference and assisting in any way that I can. I am a friendly, high energy and organization young adult. Completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) program throughout high school and am now pursuing my Kinesiology degree at Acadia University in hopes of working in the health care industry after my degree.

Being a caregiver requires a diverse set of skills to effectively support and care for individuals in need. Here are some essential skills for caregivers: 1. Empathy and Compassion: Caregivers should have a genuine concern for the well-being of others and the ability to empathize with their physical and emotional challenges. Compassion helps create a supportive and nurturing environment. 2. Communication: Strong communication skills are crucial for caregivers to effectively interact with individuals, their families, and healthcare professionals. Clear and empathetic communication helps build trust, understand needs, and address concerns. 3. Patience: Caregiving often involves working with individuals who may have limitations or require extra time and assistance. Patience is essential in providing support, allowing individuals to complete tasks at their own pace, and managing any frustrations that may arise. 4. Flexibility and Adaptability: Caregivers must be adaptable to changing circumstances and individual needs. They should be able to adjust routines, approaches, and plans as necessary to meet the evolving requirements of the person they are caring for. 5. Problem-solving: Caregivers encounter various challenges and unexpected situations. The ability to think critically, make decisions under pressure, and find creative solutions is important in ensuring the well-being and safety of individuals. 6. Organization and Time Management: Caregivers often juggle multiple responsibilities and tasks. Being organized and skilled in time management helps ensure that all necessary activities, such as medication administration, appointments, and daily routines, are completed efficiently and on time. 7. Attention to Detail: Paying attention to detail is crucial in caregiving to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals. This includes observing changes in health or behavior, following care plans accurately, and managing medications and treatments correctly. 8. Physical Stamina: Caregiving can be physically demanding, requiring caregivers to assist with mobility, transfers, and personal care tasks. Having the physical stamina to perform these tasks safely and comfortably is important. 9. Problem-solving: Caregivers often encounter unexpected situations or challenges. The ability to think critically, make decisions under pressure, and find creative solutions is important in ensuring the well-being and safety of individuals. 10. Teamwork: Caregivers often work as part of a team, collaborating with healthcare professionals, family members, and other caregivers. Being able to work effectively in a team, communicate openly, and contribute to a coordinated care approach is essential. These skills, combined with a genuine passion for helping others, contribute to the success of caregivers in providing compassionate and effective care to individuals in need. Continuous learning, staying updated on best practices, and seeking support when needed are also important for caregivers to enhance their skills and provide the best possible care.

Childcare specialist offering warm psychotherapy my name is Sinead and I specialize in supporting families as a whole unit. As products of our environments, a child's life quality is only as good as the health of their surrounding ecology. As such, helping parents find time to address their needs has a manifold effect, helping them, their partners and their children. My approach to care comes from my Masters in Psychotherapy and being raised by award-winning teachers and musicians in the Montessori, gifted, and private education systems. As the oldest of 10 grandchildren, I knew my passion for children from an early age and have taken to being a responsible role model for all children as if they are my family. My passion for care giving was further realized during my travels to Africa, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and Brazil, where I volunteered as Lead Counsellor to hundreds of children over the years. More recently, I have enlisted land-based Indigenous teaching methods to kids at Clearwater Camp and the Chippewa First Nations of Georgina Island. There, I shared time in the forest creating art, foraging and cooking delicious food (think mushrooms and bannock on an open fire) and medicine with youth in stewardship of the land most of us have settled on. I led girls' empowerment workshops where we discovered ways to tune into our bodies and our institution when facing common social situations, such as peer pressure and body-image messaging. I also delivered workshops to expectant mums on how to incorporate healthy and wild foods, safe medicines, and financially-accessible methods of self-care. I have guided 30 youth on a trek across America's national parks, teaching wilderness skills and ways to connect to each other, with natural spaces, and to our own internal rhythms. As a counsellor, lifeguard and chef to these kids, I come trained in risk-management, safety protocols, logistics, and leadership coordination to help you and your family guide and discover the life path best suited for your little ones. I write children's books and provide creative workshops for kids and parents looking to express their internal world when words are not available. For this reason, I love to work with clay therapeutically to allow expression and engagement with the elements that have grounding, self-discovery, and recharging qualities. While abroad, I was a nanny for families of doctors, professors, lawyers, and entrepreneurs, nourishing their little ones with outdoor education, healthy meal preparation (with lots of hands-on sous-chefs), and frolics by the water. Over the past 20 years, I cared for dozens of families, providing overnight and evening care, home-schooling, coordination of playgroups and exploration sessions in arts, music, and nature. Through my studies of International Development and Globalization at the University of Ottawa, and my Masters in psychotherapy and Mindfulness approaches at University of Toronto, I have come to realize that the way to make the world a better place is through education and empowerment at home. As a returning counsellor for the Ontario Co-operative Young Leaders Program designed to enhance financial skills and cooperative values in youth ages 14-18, I have been privileged to know the meaning of contributing to my diverse community. As a student working towards CRPO and CASC certification in the University of Toronto MPS program, I am looking to provide nurturing and enriching direct-client therapy to families in need. This includes developing organizational structures in the home, education planning, parenting strategies around grief, social issues, emotional distress, trauma processing for parents working to prevent familial cycles from carrying on to the next generation, and at-home, place-based, where-needed support. Masters in Psychotherapy CRPO and CASC Qualifying

I am a dependable, reliable, caring, kind, polite, compassionate, and respectful person. I understand the value of my patient or client.
