Day Care

A number of day care centres are available in Fredericton and in Saint John, check the Yellow Pages of the telephone directory for numbers and addresses. In Fredericton, there is also the College Hill Daycare, 850 Montgomery-453-3535 which is affiliated with UNB. You should note that a number of day care centres do not take infants under two months of age. Check the age requirements with the individual day care centre.

Babysitters can be found through advertisements on bulletin boards on the campus or in shopping malls and other public areas, or in the classified section of the newspaper. Babysitters may come to your home, or you may take the child to theirs. If the babysitter is working from her own home, she may take in more than one child. Check the situation and see if it is suitable for your needs before making a commitment. You may find that babysitter rates will vary, depending on whether the sitter comes to your home or, in the case of taking your child to the sitter's home, whether or not food is to be provided. Check around to find the situation that meets your particular needs.
