the part-time jungle

Hi, I’m Tiana

I’m a married mom of three boys ages 15, 13, and 10. I live in Calgary, Alberta. I am addicted to coffee and popcorn and getting up at 5 AM on weekdays to ensure that I have my โ€œme timeโ€, which involves a swim at a local pool or a workout in the basement. I enjoy volunteering at the kiddosโ€™ schools, cheering on our two oldest boys at their hockey games, and practicing piano with our youngest son. I love traveling with my family, and time with my mom-friends. The village mentality, involving both family and friends, has made all the difference through all of the ups and downs and in-betweens of motherhood.

I am a teacher.

I have my BSc, BEd, and MEd. I’ve worked in the field of Education in a variety of capacities including as a classroom teacher in both Junior High and High School, a Curriculum Developer, as an Early Learning Coordinator overseeing the programs for and providing support to young children with developmental delays, and now as a sessional instructor in the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary. ย 

Since becoming a mom, I’ve been navigating the world of finding a motherhood and work juggle that works best for me and my family.

I realized that the options of going back to work full-time or being a stay at home mom werenโ€™t right for me. I needed to find a place somewhere in between. I have had success finding amazing part-time and flexible work opportunities by putting myself out there, networking, hustling hard, thinking outside of the box, and telling anybody who will listen what my โ€œidealโ€ job would be. My journey, with all of the challenges and successes, inspired me to create The Part-Time Jungle as a community of support for moms wanting a motherhood and work juggle that works best for them. Let’s navigate the adventure of โ€œswinging motherhood and workโ€ together!
