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. But he also noted that she pleaded guilty, accepted full responsibility for her actions and offered to make any necessary reparations. In his decision, Webber classified the assault as a "momentary event" that was out of character for Lewis, who did not injure the boy. He also pointed out that there were 23 letters of support for Lewis submitted to the court, including from other parents whose children Lewis had cared for.
