What we learned when we met Harriet
from verification interview with Hlídačky.cz

Paní Harriet pochází z Ghany a v Brně žije již tři roky. Mluví pouze anglicky, ale to jí nikdy nebránilo v tom, aby si rychle získala důvěru dětí i rodičů. S hlídáním má bohaté zkušenosti. Pečovala o své neteře a synovce, starala se o děti ve své rodině v Ghaně a dokonce zvládla i celotýdenní péči bez přestávky. Má zkušenosti s hlídáním miminek od 3 měsíců až po menší děti kolem 4 let. Nejvíce preferuje menší děti, ke kterým má velmi vřelý vztah. Aktivity vždy přizpůsobuje jejich zvykům a potřebám. Ideální den si představuje venku na čerstvém vzduchu nebo hraním s dětmi. Ráda pohlídá děti i u sebe doma a může pohlídat přes noc, takže je velmi flexibilní.

Kromě hlídání se paní Harriet věnuje také doučování. V Mladé Boleslavi působila jako lektorka angličtiny a velmi ji tato práce bavila. Učila také na škole Jana Babáka, kde vedla děti od 6. do 9. třídy. Nabízí doučování angličtiny a matematiky na úrovni druhého stupně základní školy.

Harriet má zkušenosti také s úklidem. Přes portál Hlídačky uklízela byty i Airbnb, například velký čtyřpokojový byt v Praze. Ráda pomůže s úklidem domácností, kanceláří nebo obchodů. Žehlení sice nemá v oblibě, ale jinak zvládne vše potřebné a v případě potřeby si může přivézt i vlastní úklidové prostředky. Hledá pravidelnou spolupráci.


How Harriet handles everyday situations

You are about to look after 5 years old Anna from Prague. She has been going to kindergarten for a year and her mum and dad need to have a rest and go for the trip together on Saturday. You know Anna has been looked after only by her mum's sister, she would not last long for the book and enjoys any movement the most. The parents won't have any special requirements for the daily schedule leaving it completely up to you. What is your common Saturday going to look like?

Inorder to take good care of Anna, I will contact her parents or her aunt for some informations. Firstly, I will find out about Anna's regular routines such as the time she wakes up, what she eats, when she take naps and her bed time. I will also ask if she has any allergies, any special need and how long she spends on her favourite onscreen programmes. I will enquire about her favourite toys, snacks, games, hobbies as well. And for the purpose of any eventuality I will ask for their contact details or emergency contacts. Additionally, I will draft a detailed plan of activities for the day covering morning, midday, afternoon and evening.

You are at the sandpit with Anna enjoying not only playing at climbing frames but also making sand cakes. Anna is sitting calmly trying to prepare a confectionery pleasure. She is holding a sifter in her hand "sugaring" the sand cake. Suddenly, a little girl approximately at the same age comes to her, takes the sifter and is going to play with it herself. Anna is really unhappy and looks as she is going to cry. How are you going to solve the situation?

Quickly but gently I will intervene speaking with a calm voice and gentleness while ensuring that I bend down to the level of the children. I will tell them that I realise they both like the sifter but Anna was using it. After talking to the two of them I will address Anna to prove to her that I acknowledge her feelings and I am on her side. I will then proceed to veer the other girl's attention by telling her that Anna is using the sifter and will give it to her after she using it. Or I will offer the girl an alternative item to play with. I will further encourage Anna gently to share the sifter with the girl when she is ready so that both girls will be happy.

You have agreed with the parents they would come back home in the evening to make their daughter fall asleep. Half an hour before they should arrive, the desperate mother is calling you she has been stuck in traffic on the highway and they will certainly not be able to arrive on time. There is going to be a serious delay and there is nobody to substitute for them. Anna is quite tired of the all-day rollicking and she is asking for her parents. How are you going to cope with the situation?

I will stay calm in this situation hiding my my stress and ensure that I reassure Anna that her parents will be late unintentionally but they are doing their best to come home and be with her. I will also show her that I understand her feelings and it is alright for her to feel disappointed for not seeing her parents the time she hoped. I will then engage her in activities to take her mind off her parents delay. These activities will be centred around her usual fun bedtime activities she does with her parents telling her that her parents will come and conclude it with a good night kiss.
