Vanessa McKay, Local Coordinator Ontario, Perth

"To assist children and youth to develop and achieve their skills to their fullest potential" has always been my personal and career objective.
I am very excited to be Homestay Coordinator with MLI. I think homestay is a fantastic experience for students and their host families.
Currently, I am also home daycare provider. I really enjoy working with children and youths and have worked with them in a variety of settings for over 25 years. I believe that every child is unique and capable of achieving great things, all they need is love, understanding and guidance.
I have a Developemental Services Worker diploma and I am still working on my Bachelor of Art and degree.
My two favourite things to do are spending time with family and friends and participating in a variety of martial arts with my karate family.
I always enjoy learning new things and love vacationing in the east coast of Canada.
