An Ottawa nanny has been given a conditional discharge for assaulting an infant in her care nearly two and a half years ago.
Kaylee Lewis, 28, appeared by video Monday morning at the Ottawa Courthouse, where Ontario Court Justice Matthew Webber outlined his reasons for granting the discharge, as long as she abides by a 12-month probation.
In his decision, Webber said Lewis breached the trust placed in her to care for the young victim, who was 15 months old at the time of the assault. But he also noted that she pleaded guilty, accepted full responsibility for her actions and offered to make any necessary reparations. Lewis also drafted a formal letter of apology to the child s parents.
