"Rita is absolutely amazing with children of all ages. She cared for both of my sons from 9 mos- now 9 years. Rita is caring, loving, communicative, understanding, and knowledgeable. In addition, she is extremely creative with her teaching and play time. One of the other moms named her the “toddler whisperer” and she really is. She knows what kids want and need to succeed."

"Where do I start? Miss Rita is AMAZING. I met Rita when we moved to Florida from Australia and didn’t know a soul. I found her at home daycare and my then 14mth old girl started with her. I knew instantly she would be safe, protected, nourished and nurtured. She absolutely THRIVED under Rita’s care. Rita also did babysitting for us too which included an overnight stay and I trusted Rita implicitly. We love Miss Rita!!!"

"Rita was the only caregiver that was able to connect with my son. He would cry constantly when I left the room and after 1 month Kai was an entirely new kid.
Happy, well adjusted and at ease. Rita is a child whisperer and she is like family to us. She has a true heart for children and anyone who has the opportunity to send their children to her should consider themselves lucky."

More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
In my home/ child’s home/ daycare facilities/ preschools/ community parks & recreation/ Celebration Hospital Gym/ event halls for special occasions/ community clubhouse and golf resorts
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
It brings me joy to see children laugh and having fun. I am an active person, making it typical for me to participate in activities along side of them. I look forward in sharing my love of cooking, baking, nature walks, and the beach.
I am big on taking teaching opportunities throughout the day as I carefully observe children in play. I look for their strengths and create activities according to the things they thrive in. I equally encourage children with the things that they struggle with so that they can obtain an “I can” attitude.
My strength is in behavior modification and growing their emotional intelligence and social skills. I enjoy teaching letter and number concepts through music and movement which simultaneously improves their gross motors and listening skills. However, above all, my main objective is to teach children to be kind, empathetic and respectful to people and property.
My number one concern is your child’s well-being and safety so that fun can be theirs.

The most important part about being a nanny...
The sweetest thing I ever heard…When a child was asked what he loves most about Ms. Rita, he replied, “I don’t mind that she gives me kisses without asking because I give her kisses without asking too.” Trace 4 Yrs old (He is now 8 years old).
(I met Trace (6months old) when I first started a parent child play program for my community. His parents and I always stressed respecting other peoples boundaries as well as setting his own.
