I live in Ontario and I have been an ECE educator for 15 years. I have made 8.50hr atone place and then I made 9.50 at another. Now I have been home for 3ys and did home care and made 600.00 every 2 weeks watching 2 toddlers plus mine. I now have a new job and I got a lead position which is like an asst.supervisor and I only make 13.00/hr.Reg ECE makes 12.00/hr( and we are non-profit!) Now there are other centers around me that the employees are making 17.00/hr. If your lucky enough to get on with the city daycare than your laughing, they make 20-22/hr for ECE and 17-18 for assistanse(non ECE). Why such a huge gap in wages is beyond me! We all do the same things and yet there is such a discrency in pays! Count yourself lucky that you make so much esp in a profit center. Name: Email: Subject
