My name is Rose Bonello. I am a Master of Arts in Early Childhood Studies graduate from Toronto Metropolitan University and a Master of Science in Child life and Paediatric Psychosocial Care candidate at McMaster University. I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer at a variety of Early Childhood Services over the last few years.

I have shadowed Speech Pathologists, Certified Child Life Specialists, Educational Assistants, Teachers, and more. I continue to learn about what it means to work with children with a variety of diagnoses.

Additionally, I am an experienced coordinator with a history of working with children of all ages and stages.

With skills in cooperation, adaptability, creativity, communication, and critical thinking.

My future aspirations are in the clinical field of working as a child life specialist with children, families and a team of staff to provide developmentally appropriate, family-oriented plans of action to assist in their holistic development, and quality care.
