Noonie
Meet
Bubs
My passion for children and education has always been the driver of my profession. I have been a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist for over 10 years, and I can honestly say that my career hasn’t ever felt like a job. I truly love helping others and getting to use my creativity to make connections with learning.
After having children of my own, I began to realize that the knowledge I possess in my profession is not only beneficial for families of children with delays or disorders but for all families. Whether you are planning on having children, have children or work with children, it’s important to have tools to understand child development, so you can enhance their lives as they continue to grow.
During my quest of trying to get the knowledge out there, my husband revealed his passion for art and creativity along with his professional skills of working with children and families. He has a background in program management, child development, family and social services. 15 plus years in child welfare has afforded him an opportunity to see a variety of situations where developmental tools were not readily available, or innovative enough to be effective. So, together we created Noonie & Bubs, a company focused on “enhancing child development, while empowering parents”. Not only is this our company name, but the nicknames of our children; the driver of all that we do!
