Hi Kuwait user,
I have seen that several desi people keep other working desi's kids at their home and do not possess a license for that. Normally desi people charge 300 Dollars pm per child for 8 hours of daycare for 20-22 days a month.
Licensed Day care centres charge more than this. You might want to navigate thru http://www.canada.gc.ca" rel="nofollow">LINK or http://www.gov.on.ca" rel="nofollow">LINK to search for further licensing requirements.
I sent you a PM some days ago. Please could you check your mail.
thanks

You can do baby sitting in your house for up to 5 kids without license. However, if you have more than 5 kids, then you need to have a license. For taking a license you have to do E.C.A. (Early childhood assistant) course.

hello, Although our desi community has started this "trend" of babysitting small children in their homes, it is not in any manner safe. I have come across many people who are in dire need of daycare without having disposable income for professional caregivers so they opt for 'desi" babysitters. A lot of kids become sick and many worse because proper care is not provided.
As per your question. Yes you require a license (I do not have the information on where to apply for that) CPR aid in case of emergency. I hope if you are starting this at home that you would atleast learn CPR as that could save not only the child's life but yours as well. Take care, good luck

Doing baby sitting with any kid without license is illegal. Even for 5 kids you need to take license which is called home base license. The process for taking this license is minimum. But you need to take license for this.
Home based day care cannot accomodate more than 5 kids...even with license. More than 5 kids required child care facility and to take license for that its requried education and grant from goverment.
Please if you dont know about it, dont guide people.

People do baby sitting but it requires licensing. I found very rare home day care giving proper care to the babies.
