I have ECEA, first-aid, CPR and AED certification

I am passionate about creating a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment for the little ones in my care. With 3 years of experience primarily working with babies, I am well-versed in meeting their unique needs. I am a calm, friendly, and enthusiastic caregiver who is skilled in a variety of activities, from drawing and reading to language learning and musical play. I am a registered Ecea in British Columbia and I have first-aid, CPR and AED certification. I am also a creative person, so art (more specifically painting) have been a great outlet and passion. As a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and creativity/art with kids. I think it's important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling and enriched environment. I am an enthusiastic and responsible person and look forward to meeting you and your kids!
