Hello, my name is Ms. Lavallee. I grew up in a family of six with three siblings. One brother who is older, one younger sister and one younger brother. I grew up in Castlegar, BC and moved to Nanaimo, BC three years ago. I enjoy being outdoors, reading and scrapbooking.
Growing up with younger siblings, I often found myself teaching them in some form whether that was in helping them learn to tie their shoes or complete school homework. Furthermore, I have worked a lot with children in a variety of settings such as babysitting/ nannying and tutoring. I later went on to complete my B.A in Child and Youth Care. After going through my B.A in Child and Youth Care and being immerse within school systems as well as after school care programs through different practicums, I came to the realization that I love being around children and youth in teaching environments rather than counselling. This realization has been what has driven me to pursue my passion in teaching.
