Our oldest son has been with Gitta since December 2008 (16 mo old)and is now "graduating" to preschool at 3 years old. We can't say enough how much we have appreciated and loved Gitta over the years, and are lucky enough to continue having her in our family since she will be caring for our second son (4 mo old).Gitta has an incredible sense of humor, playfulness, and love that radiates making her an incredible caregiver for our sons. She adores children and because of her experience and innate abilities, provides an incredible environment for learning and growing. She cooks nutritious hot meals, offers opportunities for sensory experiences, teaches songs, letters, and numbers during circle times, and fosters social skills among the children. He frequently brings home lovely arts and crafts projects. Our son has become a gentle, joyous and fun-loving little boy in Gitta's care. It can be tough getting him to leave at the end of the day! We highly recommend Gitta's Daycare. We trust her explicitly with the care of our little boys and hope she is a part of our lives for many, many years to come!

My son's daycare has an opening (Maxwell Park, Oakland)
My son's small daycare has an opening for a child ~ 18 months old. Gita is a caring and gentle caregiver for our son and we are so glad we found her! She cooks healthy meals and takes the kids on outings. She cares for the small group (4) in her large warm home. We can't recommend her enough. Our son has learned so much language and play skills while he's been there. She is Swedish and speaks Swedish and English throughout the day. Contact me if you would like her information.
