Fun and experienced P/T childcare

Rita's Bio

I'm available all weekdays mornings til 3:30pm and full days for Thur, Fri. for childcare at your home. I can drive anywhere within 20min from Marpole area.
I have been providing infant care for newborn, overnight nanny, as a mother's helper, before school and after school care for different families in my neighborhood for over 8 years. I am married and have been a homemaker for many years to raised a now adult daughter of my own. I would describe myself as someone you can count on and along with that, I'm also attentive, peaceful and conscientious. I speak respectfully to kids and am able to be firm on things that are important. One thing I've noticed about kids is that they all need and want clear boundaries. It's like a fence you create around them to play in and it makes them feeling safe and protected. I enjoy coming down to the child's level and play like a kid cause I still remember how it felt being little and what every child wanted really is to be heard and understood. I like the one on one type of focus care and enjoy the reward of seeing good results at the end of the day. I believe that kids learn best when they feel relaxed and cared for. Because I'm personable and funny, it doesn't take long for me to connect with kids of all ages. I have my police check report and attended the 5 hour course on Childcare first aid / CPR. I speak fluent English and Cantonese. My experience as a mother has prepared me to deal with different types of situations that can come up. The families that I am working for would say that they can trust me to be proactive and reliable on a daily basis. I can be silly and animated at times and does not act my age (when playing with kids). I could be playing hide n seek, pretend games or tossing a ball with them. Making up spontaneous lyrics, singing, making kids laugh and story reading. Kids really do learn best when they're relaxed and well cared for.

I travel by car with excellent driving record and will provide a year-end summary tax receipt.
