Family Based Care and Foster Care

Children and youth who are unable to live with their families need a caring, stable, and supportive foster home.

Bayfield currently operates family based care and foster homes throughout the Greater Toronto Area and Hastings & Prince Edward Counties.

Experience in parenting or in the field of social services is an asset. Bayfield provides a competitive compensation package, ongoing training and support to our Family Based Care Providers and Foster Parents.
