About Rita

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello, my name is Rita. I'm new to SC & looking for part time or occasional part time work to complement my part time nursing work, once my California RN license gets approved. I have a lot of experience in child care, pet care, and mother's help/organization around the house. I have worked for several families on care. com, with children aged 6 months-12 years. I have two seasons of formal work experience with children between the ages of 4 - 15 as the head female counselor at a local nature camp. In addition, I have regularly babysat my newborn niece and nephew and toddler cousins. I am a very cheerful, energetic, and health-conscious person. I enjoy talking, playing, doing crafts, and engaging in outdoor activities with children whenever possible. I also love cooking, and am more than happy to prepare snacks or meals for children whenever necessary. I am generally willing to help in any manner possible, whether it be driving, cleaning, tutoring, or mentoring. I also love animals!

Rita was reliable, punctual and great with communication. She was active with both of my children, structuring their day with activities, games, and reading/crafts. My children loved her and we would 100% re-hire. She also helped with pet care and housekeeping well beyond what we asked her to. Cannot recommend her enough!
