CARRIE HOGGER
Edmonton
Summary
For the past 16 years, I have been providing professional caregiving and working with Edmonton and Area Child and Family Services. As a compassionate foster care provider with a profound training background in child and family services. I possess strong skills in crisis management, communication, and creating safe environments for children of various ages. Have consistently provided stable homes for children in need, while facilitating personal growth and development. I also co-owned an incorporated company with my husband during this time, and I was in charge of all the bookkeeping and administrative duties. In my younger years, I worked in the restaurant business and held cashier positions.
