Hi there! My name is Shannon, I'm passionate about mental health, gardening, swimming (really just the outdoors), and obviously children! I have over 8 years of working with children in one capacity or another. I have been an overnight camp, camp counsellor, a lifeguard and lifesaving instructor, taught outdoor education for the Toronto District School Board, volunteered as a crisis responder for Kids Help Phone, worked with children in a women's shelter, and have provided direct in-home care for families. Last year, I finished University with two degrees. My first is in Psychology and my second in Criminal Justice and Public Policy. Since then, I have been working as a Crisis Counsellor and Community Support Advocate for a women's shelter. I have also worked within residential addictions treatment. Although I love mental health, I am looking to transition back into a caregiving role. I miss all the small joys children show us to appreciate. I am looking forward to supporting your family and creating a warm, safe environment for your young one(s). Kindly, Shannon
