Hi, my name is Allie!

I have been in the field of education/childcare for the past 13 years. I began babysitting children in my neighborhood at 15 years old, and have since turned my passion for childcare into a career. I graduated from the Early Childhood Education program at Algonquin College in 2014 and dove straight into being a full time permanent ECE at a childcare program in Stittsville, Ontario. I stayed at this position for 9 years before relocating to the little town of Almonte this past month. During my time at that position I worked with children from ages 2 years - 12 years of age, with a focus on school age children. I have also nannied for two different families (2 years each) from 2010 - 2014. The first position was full time care for four children (infant - school age) and the second was a part time position for a 1 year old girl while I completed my ECE diploma. I have completed CPR/First Aid training, WHMIS training and well as Sabrina's Law certification yearly during my time as an ECE. I have also completed the food handlers course and various yearly professional development opportunities. I love children and really enjoy organizing and implementing fun activities. I am comfortable with caring for children of all ages and developmental stages - infant through school age. I have done it all from diaper changes to potty training, before and afterschool care to preparing for the transition into high-school! I would love to hear from you if you feel I could be a good fit for your family!
