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.

Testimonials

“We reached out to Caron after months of sleepless nights.  When the pandemic began our 8 year old daughter started sleeping in our bed.  This was disruptive to both her sleep and ours, leaving us all exhausted.  Caron helped us formulate a step-by-step approach for her bedtime routine that effectively eased her back into her bedroom.  She is now falling asleep in her bed independently and sleeping through the night.  Caron’s insight and expertise helped to get us back on track and sleeping well!"
