Looking for an Entire Home | Willing to Housesit

Description

Hello, I am happy to be returning home to BC for a one year locum at Burnaby General Hospital. I have lived in the Maritimes, Ontario and Yukon in both rural and urban locations. I grew up on a hobby farm, then had my own small farm for awhile and have a passion for gardening when not working. I have travelled for work and my education starting with a BSc in biology from UPEI, then to Laurentian University for BHSc, in midwifery. While working in Nova Scotia, I completed a Masters of Adult Education at St Francis Xavier University in Antigonish. I have been a full time registered midwife since 2008. I have also taught in the midwifery education program for Laurentian and Toronto Metropolitan University. While working as a midwife in Burnaby, I hope to do some sessional or contract teaching with the UBC MEP and mentor students in their clinical placements.
