My name is Heather. I have been at Busy Butterflies daycare since March 2015. I relocated to Nova Scotia in May 2017 but recently returned to Busy Butterflies in August 2019. I am originally from Nova Scotia but love living in Lethbridge with my husband and two young boys. I have been in childcare for 14 years now. I have worked in many fields of childcare, as a nanny and in daycares. I have also worked in elementary schools as a teacher assistant and preschool teacher. I have worked in Pennsylvania, New Brunswick, Jasper and in Bristol, England. In all these places, I have gained experience in engaging the child in their interests, creating a discovery environment and building lasting relationships with the children.
