Jennifer Martins, once coined a “maven” by CBC Radio’s Metro Morning Parenting Columnist Karen Horsman, continues to share her knowledge with the ever growing members of InfoMommy.com. A maven is a person who is a seeker and sharer of information, and in the shopping world - an informed consumer. And not one who keeps it to themselves, but who shares their knowledge to help others benefit!
 

InfoMommy.com was born out of Jennifer’s personal need as a new mother. She gave birth to her son in early 2008 and quickly realized that there didn’t seem to be a one-stop-shop with all the information she required and yearned for. From trying to find the best bargain for her dollar on diapers, to finding out about immunization, locating breastfeeding support, parent and child programs, and everything in between.

Jennifer, being the maven that she is, rose to the occasion and came up with a way to save parents the headache of trying to quickly locate all of this information.  She wanted to share information and resources that had helped her and also point people in the right direction on things they were looking for and perhaps things they didn’t know they were.

Jennifer has worked with many at-risk youth in the Toronto area over the years and has also worked specifically with young parents as both a Prenatal and Postnatal Residential Counsellor. Jennifer also served as a Certified Information & Referral Specialist providing information and referral on various social and government services to residents of both Toronto and throughout Ontario. Jennifer also held the Certified Information & Referral Specialist designation from the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems (AIRS), while serving in that capacity.

InfoMommy.com launched on January 1st, 2009. Her goal is to help parents save money & get access to solid, reliable and correct information. After all, she is  a maven!
