Meet Mia
I’m Mia! I have been a teacher with Water Babies Vaughan for three years.
I’ve always loved working with children and being in the water, so becoming a Water Babies teacher felt like the perfect fit. I love seeing little ones grow in confidence, learn new skills, and have fun with their parents. It’s such a joy to be part of these special moments and help families build a positive, safe relationship with water from the very beginning!
What’s your favourite part about teaching?
My favourite part about teaching is seeing the ‘lightbulb” moments – when a child masters a new skill or gains confidence in the water. It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of their journey and to see their joy and pride. I also love the special bonds that form between families during lessons. It’s such a positive and uplifting environment to be in!
What’s your most memorable moment as a Water Babies teacher?
One of my most memorable moments was when a very shy little one, who’d been nervous about the water, finally grew the confidence to jump in during a class. He’s loved the water ever since, and I get to continue to watch them grow more and more with every lesson.
Moments like that remind me how special and meaningful these lessons are – not just for water skills, but for building, trust, confidence, and joy in the water together.

A skill for life
“We love Water Babies! Vale is a lot more confident in the water now when we’re on vacation or swimming with friends (…) It’s also a really fun activity to do every week!”

Amazing lessons that build confidence!
My daughter and I have been loving Water Babies! We started when she was 6 months, and now at a year old, we’re still going strong … Also the safety skills that we work on multiple times a class, every week, will soon become second nature and that gives me great peace of mind.

Child Development and Safety
“I am an Early Years Teacher and appreciate the developmentally-appropriate lessons (verbal cues, movement, visual cues, and song), adult instructions … [Water Babies] focuses on water safety. This is important to us as parents, especially as we travel as a family of three and have friends with pools.”
