Heather D – Profile and Certificates

I am a very warm, loving and compassionate person, who is generally very happy and always has a smile on my face. I pride myself on being reliable and trustworthy and i am highly committed and passionate about what i do. I genuinely enjoy the company of children and as such they seem to thoroughly enjoy mine. I’m usually very patient and tolerant, but can be firm when i need to be and I know how to effectively handle most types of difficult situations. I enjoy being outdoors and will encourage children to spend less time inside in front of a screen and more time outdoors in nature. I started my own day- care center in Somerset West in 2002 and ran it for nearly 11 years. We had +/- 40 children per day in our care, ranging in age from newborns to teenagers. We offered a structured yet fun learning environment with educational programs and activities in the mornings for the younger children and offered an aftercare facility in the afternoons for the older ones with supervised homework and project assistance. In addition we provided each child with at least one hot meal per day which included a wide variety of vegetables and protein – this is something that was not always available to some families or their parents struggled to get the children to eat their veggies at home.
