Hi! My name is Lyudmila. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person with a lifetime of experience caring for children as a mother of two. I’m looking for part-time childcare work and can be especially helpful with school-age children. I can pick children up from school and bring them home, or handle both morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up during the week. After school, I can prepare or warm up their meals, make sure they eat, help with homework, read books, play games, talk with them, and take them to the playground or for a walk. I’m happy to keep children company, keep them engaged, and make sure they are safe and comfortable until their parents come home. I’m patient, attentive, warm, and reliable. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust with their children. I am also a fluent Russian speaker and would be happy to speak Russian with your child if you would like. I would be happy to become a dependable and caring person your family can count on. Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Людмила. Я заботливый, ответственный и надежный человек, у меня большой жизненный опыт общения и ухода за детьми — я мама двоих детей. Я ищу работу по уходу за детьми на неполный рабочий день и особенно хорошо могу помочь семьям с детьми школьного возраста. Могу забирать ребенка из школы и приводить домой, а также при необходимости отводить утром в школу и забирать после школы в течение недели. После школы я могу разогреть или приготовить ребенку еду, проследить, чтобы он поел, помочь с домашним заданием, почитать книжки, поиграть, поговорить с ребенком, погулять или сходить на площадку. Я могу спокойно и с вниманием заниматься ребенком до прихода родителей. Я терпеливая, внимательная, добрая и надежная. Я понимаю, как важно родителям иметь человека, которому они могут доверять своего ребенка. Я также свободно говорю по-русски и могу разговаривать с ребенком на русском языке, если родители этого хотят. Буду рада стать надежным и заботливым человеком, на которого ваша семья сможет рассчитывать.
