Are you looking for regular daytime care for your newborn, infant, or toddler, between the hours of 6am and 12am? I may be able to help! I’m a 24 year old mom of two, looking to offer care to similarly aged children of my own (2yrs, 3mo) during daytime hours from 6am to 6pm, in my own home located near Willow Park School in Telford Court. From 6pm to 12am, I am available to watch your children in your own home, or here at mine as well! I’m a creative, inventive individual, who believes in gentle parenting with patience and respect for children of all ages. My experience differs, with over 10 years of babysitting both my younger siblings, and many neighbourhood kids. I’ve overseen children of all ages, but as I have two young ones of my own, I feel the most comfortable with the 0-5 age group. My kids and I engage in crafting and puzzles, colouring and painting, and I’ve also taken to creating neat little sensory bins, utilizing materials such as water, snow, ice, soil, and sand. We are a messy play household, so you may want to send your child with (several) changes of clothes. I believe that children have most fun through exploring on their own without limitations. In addition to the above, we have an abundance of stimulating toys for both independent and team based activities. We also like to get out of the house at least once a day, weather permitting, and if provided with suitable winter gear, I have a small backyard, as well as the Willow Park School playground to frequent. I’d also like to mention that we do have a long-haired cat named Domino. He’s a great big softie, almost rag doll like cat, who loves our girls fiercely and enjoys watching over and playing with them. If we sound like a family you’d feel comfortable leaving your children with, please reach out to discuss your desired care at greater lengths.

I’ve been babysitting since the age of 12, watching both of my younger siblings, as well as many kids around the neighbourhood and the children of my parents’ friends. In addition to this, I now have two children of my own, the oldest being almost two now, but I’ve watched kids of all ages and have experience navigating each age group.
