Nicole Pertich

Nicole's diverse background has provided her with an appreciation of many ways children, youth, and their families can benefit from specialized supports to enrich their lives. From being an in home aid for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities, a community aid to support the development of skills in public settings, an Early Child Facilitator in preschool programs, an Emotional Behaviour Specialist in schools, and a school counsellor for a wide range of ages and presenting concerns, Nicole has knowledge and skills to support many children and youth.

For as long as Nicole’s parents can remember, Nicole has enjoyed working with children and teenagers. From babysitting in junior high, to being a summer camp counsellor, to teaching dance, to working as an aide with children with developmental disabilities, and pursuing post secondary work in schools, one thing has been consistent – Nicole is drawn to working with children and youth.

Although Nicole spends a lot of her free time endlessly reading about the most recent counselling articles, she has a lot of other hobbies too! When she isn’t at work she spends her free time with her two children, her Labrador retriever, her husband, and her friends and family. She enjoys doing anything outdoors with them – camping, skiing, hiking, and running being her favorite things to do. It isn’t a surprise she loves taking her children to classes and playdates and watching how they learn and grow while they try new activities.
