Author Profile: 

Wendy (also known as mapsgirl) is a mom to two daughters, ages 16 and 14. They are the inspiration of her blog, mapsgirl.ca, and the reason she became a Car Seat Technician. Child passenger safety is a passion of Wendy's. For 14 years, Wendy had the opportunity to work with several Ontario police services and EMS teams, helping parents understand the importance of car seat safety. Volunteering in her community and with the girls' schools happens when she's not working full time as a cartographer (she draws maps) for a municipality.
