MEET CARON IRWIN
Caron Irwin is a Canadian-based certified Child Life Specialist and founder of Roo. She holds a Master Degree in Early Childhood Studies and was a support expert at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto for over a decade. During her tenure at Sick Kids, Caron was instrumental in helping hundreds of families understand and alleviate the stress and uncertainty of hospitalization by using evidence-based, developmentally-appropriate interventions which included therapeutic play and education to reduce fear, anxiety and pain.
Since founding Roo in 2018, Caron has been using those same skills and methodologies to support families across the country as they navigate their family journey. Caron is known for her compassionate, yet straightforward and effective, approach to her practice and has what has been described as a ‘magician's touch’ with children.
