This fee also covers my wage, insurance (vehicle and day home), extra home utility usage, party expenses, and more.

Q: Do you transport children to school?
A: I am currently not offering school transportation. This may change in the future.

Q: Do I need to provide car seats for my child(ren)?
A: No, I provide all car seats. I prefer this as I know the history of each seat, and it stays properly installed in my vehicle, saving me the hassle of installing and uninstalling seats as needed.

Q: What are your hours?
A: My day home is open from 7:00 am to 4:45 pm, Monday to Friday. Please click here for more information.

Q: Do you work evenings and weekends?
A: No, I do not. Occasionally, I may be available past your contracted hours (additional fees will apply), but this must be arranged in advance and is not guaranteed. Evenings and weekends are reserved for family time.

Q: How do payments work?
A: My agency handles all financial matters and bills families by the 10th of the following month, after care has been provided. The agency offers several payment options.

Q: Do you have First Aid and CPR?
A: Yes, I am certified in First Aid and CPR, with my most recent recertification completed in November 2022 through the Canadian Red Cross. Click here for more information on my certifications.

Q: What do I need to supply?
A: You’ll need to supply a complete change of clothes, diapers, wipes, and any diaper cream. I provide 2% milk, but if your child needs a different type, please supply that, along with any formula or baby snacks. If your child uses a security item for naps, please send it along as well.

Q: How do I know what my child did/ate during the day?
A: To make communication easier, I use an app called StoryPark to send daily reports that include meals, bathroom breaks, naps, and notes, along with photos. This app is free to download, and I’ll send you a link after your registration is complete.

Q: Do you post photos of my child(ren) online or in advertising?
A: I post photos in a private Facebook group for current families and in the StoryPark app, email, or text. I also post photos for advertising, but faces are always blurred or blocked for privacy. Photos for advertising will not include your child’s name.
​
Q: Why did you choose to run a day home?
A: I love children! I enjoy sharing in their accomplishments, helping them learn, and preparing them for kindergarten. Being able to work from home and care for other people’s children is a true privilege and something I’m passionate about. I feel blessed to do this every day!
