Hello! I have a lovely 2 year old daughter and am looking to take in a child or baby part or full time in my home! I am also happy to do before/after school care as well. My name is Agathe and I am new to the Ottawa area – we just moved here from Vancouver in June! I am happy to take in newborns and up and have experience with many ages. We are a happy, healthy family – we are outdoors almost every day, love eating healthy and reading, doing age appropriate arts and crafts, unstructured play, and lots of learning. My daughter is energetic, empathetic and curious and I am very safety conscious, reliable and fun! We also are bilingual (french and english)
My previous paid work experience was not with children, but I did many years of volunteer work with the PRDA ( http://www.prda.ca/ ) which is a fantastic therapeutic equestrian facility for children (and adults) with mental and physical disabilities. I also cared for my sisters child and those of friends. Obviously, my best relevant experience is being a mom!
I have a child safe house on a quiet street with lots of toys, books etc. I also have a pack n play and high chair here, along with other needs for babies. There are parks close by, and I also have a car and valid ON drivers license and 2 car seats if needed.
I have my emergency child care first aid and CPR/AED level B from Canadian Red Cross. I also have had a criminal record check for every year of my work with the PRDA. Rates are negotiable depending on hours, days etc. We are very flexible as our days are mostly free J Thank you!
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
