Experience: 5 yrs
As a childcare provider with five years of experience, I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth and development. My creative and imaginative nature, coupled with my patience and calmness, allows me to provide a nurturing environment where children can thrive. I believe in open communication with parents, ensuring their preferred method is followed when discussing their child's day or any concerns. My experience includes caring for one child at a time, and I am more than comfortable enforcing household rules as guided by the parents. From engaging in fun board games and puzzles to teaching swimming (given my excellent swimming skills), I strive to make each day enjoyable and educational for the children in my care. I have completed coursework in early child development, and I hold both First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications. I have a car, am comfortable with pets, and am happy to assist with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping.
We had such an incredible experience with Palika who was a terrific babysitter for our son. She kept him on task with meals and bedtime but also made sure that he had fun. Highly recommend!
