My name is Margaret and I'm a retired Foster Parent and Child and Youth Worker who just moved to Elliot Lake.
I have a lot of experience in working with mostly youths from 13-18 however I recently did regular babysitting for a 3 year old girl and 7 year old boy with Down Syndrome.
I have a wide variety of interests and like to do a lot of educational or physical activities with kids instead of just sitting in front of a tv or playing video games.
I love to swim and do a lot of outdoor activities and I planned a summer program for 6 youths in foster care.
I do not want to babysit in my own home as I have nothing here to entertain kids as well as I have 2 large dogs.
I am very flexible and could work evenings, weekends or daytime hours. I am not looking at a full-time position but as an occasional, part-time basis.
I have taken many child care courses through Foster Parent College and can provide excellent references.
I also have a current Vulnerable Sector and Police Check and First Aid and CPR training.
