I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:

"Ellie has been an incredible caregiver for my son from the tender age of 12 months until he's now embarking on his journey into kindergarten. From the very first day we stepped into her warm, inviting home, Ellie made us feel like family. Her nurturing spirit and genuine love for children shine through in everything she does.

Ellie's home is a haven of creativity and learning. She effortlessly blends playtime with educational activities, ensuring that each day is not just fun-filled but also enriching. My son has flourished under her care, developing both socially and academically in ways that constantly amaze me. From teaching him his ABCs to fostering friendships among the children, Ellie has been instrumental in his growth.

Ellie's kindness and patience are unmatched. She handles every situation with grace and understanding, making sure each child feels valued and loved. I have always felt confident leaving my son in Ellie's capable hands, knowing that he is not only safe but also happy and thriving.

Ellie goes above and beyond in every aspect of her role. Her home is immaculately clean and organized, and she maintains open and clear communication with parents. She takes the time to update us on our child's progress and is always available to address any concerns we may have.

As my son prepares to enter kindergarten, I am filled with gratitude for Ellie's role in his early years. She has laid a strong foundation for his future, not just academically but emotionally as well. Her dedication to her profession and the genuine care she shows for each child make her an exceptional daycare provider.

I cannot recommend Ellie highly enough to any parent seeking a nurturing, educational, and loving environment for their child. She is not just a caregiver but a cherished part of our extended family. Thank you, Ellie, for everything you've done for our son and for being such a positive influence in his life."

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:

"I had the absolute pleasure of putting my child in Ellie’s care. As a first time mom, I was so anxious to leave my son with someone other than me. Ellie made the transition so seamless! She was easy to talk to and made sure my son felt as comfortable as he possibly could. She’s such a warm, kind, patient and extremely capable woman. She is fantastic at what she does. She takes her job seriously and you can tell that this is a passion of hers. She was so open to suggestions and working with me to get through any little challenges (ie. for my son he had a hard time with sitting and eating- she made it happen). I completely trust in Ellie and can not begin to describe the relief I felt dropping him off at her daycare and going to work without any worries at all. He was happy, loved, safe and learned sooooo much! Do not hesitate to put your child in her care."

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:

"As someone who’s child is in the care of Ellie I wanted to add what Ellie is like as a daycare provider.

My son had very bad separation anxiety, as did I if I’m being honest. It was hard to send him to daycare because we spend 13 months in a Covid bubble. Ellie made the transition to daycare seamless and she made both of us feel comfortable with the transition. He feels loved,cared for and supported everyday and he goes and leaves daycare happy. Ellie keeps me updated with pictures and texts and during the transition she messaged me everyday to tell me how he was doing. The reassurance made me feel great and brought my anxiety down. I never felt her communication was lacking.

Ellie is one of the best providers out there. She truly has such a big heart. She cares for my son as if he was her own family. She runs her daycare with love and compassion. She is always doing crafts,singing & story time with them and has structure so that they always know what to expect in a day.

I can only hope both my boys get to experience Ellie as a provider."

I met with this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:

"Esthetic wise, daycare is fully equipped . Clean and has a good variety of toys for different ages.

In terms of service , this provider is always late on all promises to send or reply which is not great.

Sadly unreliable. We had signed and sent post dated cheques and she just « gave » our spot to another just because someone else was willing to take on a longer period of time (2 months more) without even offering us to pay to keep our spot before offering and signing with another. So if you do plan on signing here, always have a plan B.

From a mother to another mother... always have a plan B with this provider ."

Provider's reply:

"Unfortunately the information provided in this review is incomplete. The reason I decided to no longer provide my services to your child is because I was asked if I could not charge you for 2 months because you wouldn’t be working during the summer since you’re a teacher. I agreed (even though most caregivers wouldn’t) because I thought I could make it work with other parents but unfortunately, just like told you when I called you to let you know, I couldn’t and still cannot afford to not have that income for two months. It’s my job, and me and my family rely on this income to support us so we had to take the difficult decision to not give you the spot and instead give it to someone who was going to pay the 12 months of the year instead of 10 months. Thank you for taking the time to review and unfairly qualify me and my services. Have a wonderful day."
