Caregiver
Your children are in capable hands!
My name is Jennifer Lee and I have 10 years of professional childcare experience. With great references from families and child care centres alike, I provide a caring, nurturing, fun, home-away-from-home environment for your children to thrive in. Where the Wild Things Play has had two successful years of operation with some of our original families still in care! I have three children of my own: Chelsea, 10.. Casey, 3.5 and Sammy, 2. We also have 2 sweet kittens and a beautiful old nanny-dog who loves our friends and their smiling faces.

Exploring our city one outing at a time!
The Wild Things enjoy lots of outside time! With a wonderful, engaging park down the street and another a short walk away, we have tonnes of out door entertainment at our fingertips. Duck ponds, walking trails, plenty of plants and trees to discover and our dog Molly in tow, there is always something fun around every corner!

Nap time? Feeling blue? Missing Mom and Dad? I've got your little guys covered!
A bright spot in my day!
The snuggles and hugs I get on a daily basis are a wonderful job perk. Here at Wild Things, the children I care for are truly loved for who they are and forming strong bonds with those little hearts is a top priority.
Reviews and Testimonials
"Jennifer is simply amazing with my girls. She keeps them busy with activities and outings and they love to go "play" at her home. I never worry when they are with Jenn because i know they are happy and well taken care of! Thank you for all you do!"
Charlene Raymond
"My friends and family always comment on what an intelligent, happy and joyful little child Gracie is. I appreciate the very important role that Jenn plays in that as her primary caregiver some weeks :) Grace is happy and loves everyday with her Wildthings family ; I couldn't ask for a better provider :)"
Tara Houston-Atwal
Jen is amazing and I feel really lucky to have found her day home. It was really hard for me to leave my son when I went back to work but Jen really helped put my mind at ease and my son adores her. She is always coming up with fun activities that I never even thought of (all my Pinterest dreams come true for my son). She gives me updates throughout the day which is really important when your a new parent. I couldn't be happier with everything she does for my son and all the kids. She keeps them feed, entertained and happy.

"Jen is an amazing child care provider - she truly cares about the kids and engages them in interactive play, while also ensuring the parents don't feel like they've missed any milestones.. My eldest child even invited Jen to her birthday party because she loves her so much. I only wish we lived closer to Jen so my children could attend Where the Wild Things Play.”
Robyn Hanson
Jennifer is a wonderful day home provider. The kids are always happy and Jennifer is busy preparing different activities for the children to be involved in. My only wish was that we met Jennifer earlier and Harrison could have spent more time there. If you want a place where your children will feel well cared for, entertained, loved then this is it!! Thanks 😀

I looked at a lot of dayhomes and daycares searching for someone I felt comfortable leaving my 1 year old son with. I was so happy when I met Jen. What stood out for me was her obvious enjoyment of all the kids. There was genuine affection, caring, and respect towards the kids and I could see it reciprocated in how they responded to her. I wanted a loving and encouraging environment for my son and we found it with Jen.
