All you need is your baby!   
About
Throughout my life I have had two passions children and dancing.

I was always busy playing with the kids in my neighbourhood and babysitting from age 12 and always helping younger students in school. I started dancing at age 10 and continued up until now. I attended the Alberta Ballet's School of Dance and participated in the annual performance of the Nutcracker for 3 consecutive years. Not only was I dancing at a studio but also in high school and with the Youth Singers of Calgary for one year. After high school I took the opportunity to help out a family in Vancouver who had a child with Cerebal Palsy which was a great learning experience for me. I came back to Calgary and joined Arythnics Dance Studio to get back into dancing and learn new styles. After my first year I was fortunate to teach pre-school ballet and jazz. Throughout the 5 years I was with Arythincs I learned new dance styles such as jazz, modern, hip hop, lyrical, musical theatre and tap. I had so much fun and to have a hand in all aspects of the studio which has given me the experience of choreographing dances and planning each year end recital. In 2004 Arythnics closed their doors and I became pregnant! Gabrielle was born and I had an amazing 8 months with her only to have to go back to work because I was pregnant again! Due on Gabrielle's first birthday, Korbin came 1 week late and I knew at that point I wanted to stay at home with them.

Knowing how much I wanted to raise my babies and how expensive childcare is today, I searched for a way to stay home and that is how Baby Busy has developed. After the first year with my daughter and being introduced to the mom and baby world I felt like I belonged in this wonderful community and am proud to have an active part in supporting and connecting with moms and babies. In that I would like to invite all of you to join me in getting out, exposing them to the outside world, music and movement. I love watching my children experience new adventures through their eyes and would like to pass on the resources to you so that you can enjoy every moment with your children.

Let's Go! Baby's Busy
