Dominika's Care

Hello! I have a Master's degree in Education Counseling and many years of experience working with children. I try to keep my family childcare small as I focus on different activities during the day and want to be able to offer high quality care for your little one. We often have trips to the local zoo, libraries and parks. We have a wonderful swing set in our backyard, we have a bouncy house/jumper for the older kids, and all kinds of water fun during the hot summer days. I am a stay-at-home mom in Clark, New Jersey to my 5-year-old son and a 2 year old girl. My son will be attending kindergarten in September, so it will mostly be my daughter and I at home. I have very high expectations of childcare and therefore I myself decided to stay home with our kids. However, in order to stay on top of my professional career, I do work part-time as a psychotherapist in Cranford. My childcare is typically for families with flexible schedules or looking for part-time care. I speak fluent Polish!!! Cost is typically $10-$12 an hour. All Clark residents welcome. I'm only minutes away from Valley Road school. We also have a cat and a dog.

For the older children, we have skates, a play house (pictured) and all types of materials for arts and crafts. I taught and studied arts and crafts most of my life. In the summer we have 2 pools, one for small children and one for the older children. We take walks to the park and can drive children to school and pick-up from school or after-school programs. We serve breakfast - you bring lunch - we will prepare anything if you don't have the time. Additional cost for lunch and dinner.
