ABOUT ME
Hi! My name is Natasha Halliwell I have 4 children and a wonderful husband Tyler Halliwell. We have 10 kids in total Jason, Tamika, Abbie, Miikka, Keaira & and Jericho. + their neice(s) Ali, Isabella & Ocean. We also have 2 dogs and 4 fish. Abby and Mika don't live with us they are my hubby's twins who live with their momma.
​
However, if we added all the kids we have cared for at some point in time we would have too many. My husband and I are considering adopting children when our own children move out. Or being foster parents and having a foster home. For now, I'm working on it.
​
I've been doing a lot of personal growth. I think that I have been learning a lot these past 4 years at university. I have been studying at the University of Regina to become an elementary school teacher. I was really nervous at first but with experience due to COVID and Zoom classes, I think it prepared me to work and teach in my future classroom or anywhere.
​
I was born in Saskatoon Saskatchewan and was raised in Thunderbay Ontario. I am the 3rd oldest out of 5 children on my mother's side, on my dad's side I am the eldest of 5 children, I have 2 more sisters and 2 more brothers one I haven't even met.
​
My sister on my mother's side of my family is a teacher and this was a reason I wanted to become one she is a patient person and is willing to help whatever it takes. Also, my uncle Leo Yahyahkeekoot is a teacher and I always looked up to him. He had the coolest classroom when I was in grade 8 at City Park in Saskatoon.
​
As I got older I finished high school in North Battleford and went to College but later changed.
Life hasn't always been easy for me in my past, I hit rock bottom before or what I thought was the bottom. I gave up working and fell into a dark path. I was able to get the help I needed though and I met the love of my life and found a way to get up again.
​
I moved to Regina in 2019 when I got accepted into the University of Regina, in the Bachelor of Elementary Education Program. I am also adding my continuing education certificate in Inclusive Education I have 4 classes left and will be completing my school in 2024. I will be graduated with my Bachelor of Education in elementary years and an Inclusive Education Certificate. WOOP! I'm doing it, letter after the experience I will go back for my maters.
​
I am a certified Youth Care Worker since 2012. I worked at Eagles Nest and Phoneix School in North Battleford and the Boy's & Girl's Club.
​
Like everyone I made choices in my life that led me onto a new path, I learned from all my mistakes in my life. I value life and can't wait to teach and learn with others. I focus on teaching the truth. I can't wait to see what my future holds for me and my family.
​
I love nature and going camping and all the fun stuff in the dirt. I also like writing stories and telling stories and drawing, painting, dancing, and singing. I used to write rap songs, I have a box full of them in my basement. I can just imagine what I would find.
​
All my life I wanted to write a book, I have the first drawing book that I folded and stepped together that's the truth it's in my memory box for safekeeping.
