Nanny Angel Network

Founded in 2011, Nanny Angel Network (NAN) provides free, professional relief childcare for mothers with cancer in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). It cares for children aged 16 and under, and offers support to families throughout treatment, recovery, palliative care, and bereavement. NAN says that cancer is traumatic for everyone, but it can be especially hard on women with young children. Without reliable, affordable childcare, many end up postponing appointments and compromising their treatment. NAN adopts an individualized and specialized approach to its program delivery to create a sense of security and emotional stability for the children it serves.
