Nanny in Kingston, Ontario

Hello !! My name is Jojo !! (That\'s what my daycare children would call me) !! I am the mother of two wonderful sons! I have been doing daycare for 20 years and have thoroughly enjoyed my time with all the precious children that have come in and out of our lives as they grew older or moved away due to job relocating. I worked through a licensed Private Home Daycare Company called Kids Care Network. I was required to do yearly CPIC\'s and First Aid and CPR courses. They would visit my home once a month to ensure that everything was running smooth and they would help me with any problems I would run in to. They were great !!! I closed my daycare last November due to the changes made to the Kindergarten scheduling from every other day to full days. As I was a licensed child care provider, that meant my numbers would drop from 5 children to 3 children as we were only allowed to have 2 under two and 3 under 3. The four year old children are now attending Kindergarten full time. I am now working as a cashier in a grocery store but I miss my children dearly. I have decided that I would like to be around the children again but this time out of my home ( we have kind of gotten used to not having toys etc. all over the house hehehehe!!) I look forward to meeting with you to further discuss my qualifications as a child care provider !! I have been a licensed child caregiver for 20 years. I have taken care of children as young as 3 months old to as old as 12 years old. Each day was filled with crafts, reading stories, singing songs, and of course play time (while I prepared snacks and lunch) and quiet time. We went on excursions to play groups, city parks, nature trail hikes, walks around my neighborhood, the mall when there was special events, we would go for a ride on the city bus occasionally and we would visit other caregiver homes. Each day was a new adventure. One year we actually had the privilege of watching a Monarch Butterfly come out of its cocoon. It was a totally amazing experience !!!!!!! I have many more stories to tell but that would take too long to type!!!
