Ms. Stella

My name is Stella, I have been married for over 40 years and am a mother of four children, as well as a grandmother to two adorable grandchildren.

I have been living in Canada for over 20 years, having moved here from Nigeria. I spent seven years in British Columbia before relocating to Calgary to be closer to our children.

I have over 10 years of experience in early childhood education, including several years as an ECE assistant at a preschool. I also operated a day home for ten years. I recently completed my diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care. Working with children is more than just a job for me; it is a joy and a privilege to witness their growth during these vital early years. I love seeing the joy and excitement on their faces as they discover and achieve their goals.

When I am not working, I enjoy travelling, gardening, cooking, baking, and relaxing by watching my favorite soap opera. I am thrilled to be a part of your fantastic team.
