Robin joined the Federation in August 1999 after working for eight years as an Early Childhood Educator at two non-profit, licensed child care centres in Ottawa. Robin has a BA in Political Science from Carleton University, a diploma in Early Childhood Education and a certificate in Public Relations from Algonquin College. She is presently enrolled in the Association Management Education Program offered by the Canadian Society of Association Executives.

Outside of work, Robin’s time is spent playing ultimate, traveling and trying to learn the finer points of fishing. If you can’t find her in a park throwing a scoober, then she is probably gone fishing or working on making her cottage a home with her partner, Derl.

Jeanine joined the Federation in February 2003. After working in the field for ten years as a Certified Early Childhood Educator in a variety of child care settings including working with children with special needs, she decided to pursue her dream of continuing her post-secondary education. In 2000, she graduated from the University of Ottawa with a B.A. in English, Psychology, and Art History.

Jeanine is a part-time writer/project coordinator for the Family Child Care Training Project and works part-time as a project coordinator on various CCCF projects.

Jeanine loves her spare time and she can often be found wandering the halls of her favourite museums and art galleries. She would love to be able to transform a famous Monet into an impressionist quilt. She especially enjoys nature and spending time camping and canoeing.
