Care" rules, requires 2 caregivers every week. If you enjoy the company of
babies and toddlers and would be interested in spending an hour or so (on a
rotational basis) reading stories, playing games, etc, please contact Barbara
Sargent at
barbara.a.sargent@ca.ey.com or telephone Barbara at 905.420-3100.
Your help is appreciated!
