CENTRE MANAGEMENT

Karishma Kittur

Founder

I am a Registered Nurse by profession and most recently, worked with Grey Bruce Public Health. I loved working as a Public Health Nurse and serving the residents of Grey and Bruce County’s, but now I am ready to bring a new perspective as a RN to Little Cubs. As a nurse, I have worked with the pediatric population up to geriatrics and always found that I loved working with children the most. I am an advocate for things that I truly believe in and for topics close to my heart. I am passionate about travel – seeing new countries and learning their unique cultures. On my second mat leave, I started our travel blog – lifewith2cubs (the Cubs has been a part of our life since 2019!) and most recently, got certified as a travel agent in Feb 2023! I am excited to embark on this journey and bring all my past experiences and hobbies to make Little Cubs a unique, inclusive, and loving space for children and parents.
