I am certified as a Level 1 early educator in Canada and certified in both CPR and First Aid. I was a gymnastics coach for the last 2 years and taught ages 2-17. While also assisting in the preschool program adjacent to the gym.
I have four amazing younger siblings, three of them under the age of 14. We are able to bond over sports, art, humour and a general love and appreciation of one another. They are one of the reasons I love working with children and building a relationship with them even in a short time frame.
