Having a volunteer

[Peacefulbird]

I would love to have a volunteer! Few years ago I had to contract a teacher to leave my group. I made sure she had first aid cpr and police clearance. It was great we shared the same philosophy we did prepare things together and at the end of the day I had a log on how things went. My group of kids loved her and their families too.

I'm in Ontario. And I dI'd not had any insurance issue. If I have to leave by any reason my husband and daughter would have to take charge they are my emergency back up (but never thought the insurance would have any issues with that).

I had a child's grandfather who just lost his wife and he felt visiting and staying beside his baby grandson (he came to our homedaycare twice a week for three months) he will play with his grandchild, he will help reading stories. We went to outings together. It was a big help (sad enough to say that when he retired he tough it was time to finally enjoy life with his very loved wife and few weeks later she fell sick and passed away in a matter of few days. His wife's dream was to spend some time close to her first and only baby grandson); and she asked for him to do so for her.

So he did, he got to enjoy and see his grandson and spent time with him while he was figuring out on what to do next in his life. We chat we laughed we shared. Until he decided to go back to work, continued visiting his grandson sporadicly.

I never had an issue it was actually nice to see another adult helping out.

I have and follow (according to the ontario new regs.) An open door policy. (Parents can come in any time to visit) but most of the time I'm doing outings so they're welcome to join us. When they come at the end of the day they hang around and I'm happy to see that. Parents connecting guiding each other etc. It all happens here at my "homedaycare", they have became very good friends.

If someone wants to send a helper I'll be happy to show the quality program I offer.

I honestly do not think there is an insurance issue there unless you're planing to leave your group to her. Call and ask your insurance. Mine has a coverage for the children in my care and parents or any one related to the.kids if something happens but also we have a house insurance that covers liability. Ask them if that is your concern.
