Adventures in Babysitting Child Care

Our Story

My name is Melissa MacGregor and I am the owner and teacher at Adventures in Babysitting Family Oriented Child Care. I am currently a Registered License not Required childcare provider who is registered with West Coast Child Care Resource and Referral and VCCRR (Background checks, references provided to West Coast and VCCRR and First aid and CPR are completed).

I have two little ones of my own who will be joining your child on our adventures together. I love working with children, helping them learn and watching them grow. Our home is a loving, safe and quiet environment where children are allowed to be children, learn and play and are gently guided towards independence. I have the experience of nurturing my little ones and the privilege of taking care of the children of friends of mine along the way. We live in co-operative housing where families are a priority and I often take the role of community mom in the neighbourhood, stepping in where needed and wanted. I am a red seal chef who has a degree in creative writing so your little ones will be well fed and creatively stimulated throughout the day!

At Adventures in Babysitting our home will be your little ones’ home away from home. We will venture into the community daily, whether it is an adventure at the spray park on a summer morning, or library on a hot afternoon; the Trout lake play gym on a rainy autumn day, or the Collingwood family place to socialise with other families in the neighborhood. When we are not out and about in the community we will be stirring our own inner creative adventures through free play time, books, song and dance,arts and crafts or our very own sandbox and water table in the backyard! We hope to see you on our next adventure soon!
