We also ask that the caregivers make daily reports reports for this reason," added Ms. Reesor. The farm child care program program was set up in response to statistics released by the Farm Safety Association indicating indicating a need for keeping a closer watch on children in the farm environment. Fred Young, from the Farm Safety Association, confirmed that 31 children were killed in farm accidents accidents in 1989 and in 1990, 38 fatalities were reported in Ontario. ; So far ' this year, eight children have been killea in accidents on farms.

As of spring this year, 28 families nave used farm child care. Because it is so flexible, some families have taken advantage of the service service for a few weeks while some have, only used it for a couple of days. "It's veiv convenient for farm families who grow strawberries, com or hay for example," explained Ms. Reesor. Reesor. "It's also great for people who need one good day to nit the books -- get all the book work done without interruptions. interruptions. The kids are taken care of for the day." The families pay about half of the caregiver's wage. This fee covers all the children children in the immediate family family or up to four non-sibling children.

The government funded Child Care Initiative Fund (CCIF) covers administrative administrative costs while the Student Employment-Experience Development Development program (SEED), Women's Institutes, Farm Groups and program fundraising fundraising covers the remainder of the wages not provided by the family hiring the caregiver caregiver explained Ms. Reesor. The greatest demand for farm child care is during the months from May to August. It is available up to three days a week with a maximum maximum of 25 days during the season. From October to March, the service is offered on an occasional basis only. While the program is only intended to service Durham West, Ms. Reesor notes that they will send caregivers to areas in Durham Durham East as well.
