Hélène is kindhearted, hardworking, and caring. She has decades of experience caring for children as well as music composition. This experience gives her the added bonus of being a great teacher of music and creative arts in addition to the usual childcare necessities. She approaches problems with a positive attitude, a sense of humor, and good communication skills. She is responsible, trustworthy and adept at problem solving. Her intrinsic motivation and creativity is contagious and enriching to those around her. I believe she would be a great asset to any family who is in need of assistance.

I have know Helene for almost 21 years now. Over that time she has consistently shown incredible amount of responsibility and passion when it comes to caring for not just children but everyone around her. I believe she creates a safe space around her that children would be able to thrive in. Her positive attitude tied with her excellent ability to handle emergency situations while staying calm and in control would make her the perfect fit for any family looking for a reliable and loving caregiver.
