I am a Registered Nurse and I have practiced nursing for about 20 years. I am also a mother of two children and understand how challenging parenting can be! I have worked as a Public Health Nurse with the City of Toronto for the last 10 years and as a PHN I have had the privilege of working with families in their homes assisting with breastfeeding and supporting parenting. I have also worked in the community facilitating prenatal and parenting programs in Toronto.
