Summary

Hello, my name is Russell but most people call me Russ. I am a former basketball player and have traveled all over the world including Spain and Brazil. I currently work at the National Ballet of Canada as a overnight on call head staff member for children fifteen to eighteen years of age. I have worked with children ages 18 months to 12 Year of age as an ECA/ECE at the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre and have been doing so for the last five years although I am working part time there currently. I also love working with special needs children. I am drawn to arts and crafts, coloring and painting as well as taking time to relax and look after my mental health happiness.
