  • Andrea Holden celebrates 20 years in child care at CNH

    Collingwood Neighbourhood House (CNH) proudly recognizes its long-serving staff members. At this year’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), CNH staff and contractors who have reached the milestones of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years of service and dedication to the neighbourhood house, were thanked by the Board of Directors.

    This year, we recognize and celebrate Andrea Holden for over 20 years of service!

    Andrea has been a childcare worker at the Infant Toddler program since 2004. I have worked with her as a coworker and as a supervisor. There was one occasion when she worked at Terry Tayler after her maternity leave.

    Her colleagues describe her as very talkative and friendly with families. She is very generous and always willing to help families to get involved and be part of Collingwood Neighbourhood House.

    As a Program Coordinator I can always count on Andrea when putting furniture or any item together. She is very skilled and clever when it comes to doing this kind of job.

    When asked why Andrea stayed with CNH she said that she really loves the sense of community and the support of CNH in both her work and personal life.

    When asked what was her favourite work-related memory, she said that there are so many wonderful memories of working with families who have multiple children through our programs creating long standing relationships.

    Andrea also mentions that as a single parent of a child with special needs, she has had so much support for herself and her child. Her child has attended so many amazing programs from her birth to now as she attends the youth programs!

    For Andrea CNH is an amazing place to work.

    I would like to congratulate Andrea on her 20th Anniversary at CNH.

    Happy Anniversary Andrea!.
