The Genies
Hanna Guerra, The Head Genie
She wears many hats…a norm for most business owners! She is a mother of two young kids who are her little genies and married to an awesome and supportive husband who is her real genie. Her previous experiences include: computer instructor, database developer, IT manager, martial arts practitioner and Japanese jiu-jitsu black belt instructor, and a life coach. She’s well prepared for running a very busy indoor playground that itself wears many hats! Her ultimate goal is to serve families and communities to provide solutions and support networks.
Additionally, Hanna is also a great promoter and supporter of French as a second language and is the President of the Canadian Parents for French - South Etobicoke Chapter which is a perfect vehicle for that. She does speaking engagements on variety of topics relating to family and kids, goals setting, entrepreneurial pursuits and small business success -- and has been featured in local newspapers as well as The Globe and Mail’s Small Business section in August 2012 with an article titled, “Ten Ways To Grow a Business With Little Cash Flow”.
From Melissa Shannon, Toronto: “Hanna is a great business woman to partner and work with. She has great ideas and is always willing to help Mompreneurs grow. Working with Hanna as The Busy Genie Sponsored the Etobicoke Mompreneur Showcase in 2012, she has been an awesome supporter and Sponsor. From Advertising the Showcase to her clients to personal invitations to her business associates to become apart of the Showcase. It just shows how involved she really is in her work. Hanna is truly a Busy Genie." [submitted: June 2012]

Anastasia & Ethan (The Little Genies)
Hanna’s cute kids who like to feel important when they tell other kids that they can’t go into the office…only they can! LOL. They like to help out with putting things away and getting little balls from where the big genies can’t get to!
