\u201cIt is a support system for young mothers\u201d <\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

Beaurepaire resident, Kathy Kostlivy, is an illustration of the importance of family values in today’s fast paced world. Kostlivy, a McGill alumnus educated in Art History, always believed of a career in big business upon graduation. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy first job was in a call centre, and I quickly realized that it wasn’t for me\u201d said Kostlivy. <\/p>\n

Her way of thinking changed when she began working at a local health club 15 years ago. \u201cThe members showed me the importance of building relationships. It was a rich support system which really impressed me\u201d Kostlivy told The Suburban.<\/i><\/p>\n

Her assignment as Leisure Technician at the college level further strengthened her beliefs. \u201cIt was more than coordinating activities, it included academic coaching and encouragement\u201d Kostlivy told The Suburban.<\/i><\/p>\n

She tapped her passion in 2012 with her introduction of Moms Near Me, a real world, and an online community that provides an easy way for parents in the Montreal area to connect with each other through a variety of services. A first time mother, Kostlivy wanted to raise her own child. She was alone with her son but she wanted to keep her mind sharp. <\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to create an online group for young mothers with children between the ages of 12-24 months. My first idea was music in the park. My goal was to get 12 people. What I received was 30 with another 15 on the waiting list\u201d said Kathy. <\/p>\n

She accomplishes this by providing a series of weekly activities such as mom and baby fitness, nutrition, and stroller workouts. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe fees are nominal. We do need a required minimum, but as long as the costs are covered, then the event will go as planned.\u201d said Kathy.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe’s amazing! Organizing classes and group buys of natural products for our kids so we save money and a board where moms can post questions and support each other. It’s an important part of moms lives that was missing before, and I applaud her for taking the initiative to do something that we all wish we could do for each other\u201d said Lisa Solti, a Pointe Claire mother who uses this community on a weekly basis.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\u201cMoms Near Me is a great resource for new moms; I’ve taken a CPR course, ordered baby products and met some new friends as well. There are usually a few interesting topics of conversation going on online from nursing and feeding your baby to comparing doctors and recipes. Always sharing local activities and deals for all sorts of things\u201d added Pointe Claire resident Shannon Cater.<\/p>\n

Moms Near Me have a private forum with 500 followers which discourage advertising. A handful of local businesses do donate prizes for mothers to win on special occasions. <\/p>\n

“You learn to adapt as things evolve. The challenge is to find new people\u201d said Kostlivy. This resource is a solid support system for one another and is very good for me. It is a nice balance in helping me raise my family.\u201d confirmed Kostlivy. <\/p>\n

Moms Near Me can be reached at www.momsnearme.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nKathy Kostlivy, creator of Moms Near Me, enjoys some quality time with son Sully.<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
