	The DENR 2 Day Care Center, with capacity of 50 heads, was built to take care of employees' children and grandchildren while they are in their nursery stage or when their nannies are absent.

One major concern of the management now a days is addressing efficiency and effectiveness of employees in the workplace. The DENR R02 in particular has been conducting seminar on capability building, personnel management and team building. Such trainings do not absolutely resolve the problem of employees’ efficiency. For instance, a working mother with multiple tasks in the office as well in her dwelling unit doing the usual household activities aside from rearing of the children from health care to education. In short, the work performance of an employee-mother is much affected.

To address such concern, DENR Region 02 has revived the operationalization of Day Care Center with two-pronged functions, to wit:

a) As Nanny Center and
b) As Semi- Formal Education Center

As early as October 2011, the Regional Executive Director has opened two jobs, namely: Day Care Center Teacher and Assistant Teacher.

These two jobs were duly announced and notices were posted in conspicuous places of DENR Regional Office, PENRO Cagayan and CENRO Tuguegarao and to our Regional Website.

On January 2012, deliberation was conducted for hiring a Nanny with qualifications and conditions hereunder enumerated:

a) At least 21-50 years of age with minimum 3 year experience as yaya/nanny within the Philippines
b) Application Letter
c) Certification of Good Moral Character from previous employer/s;
d) Certification from the Barangay Captain/Police;
e) Duly fille-uo Biodata with 2X2 ID picture;
f) After passing the screening, the applicant shall undergo a probationary 3 month contract.
g) Must be physically fit to take care of children in their tender ages (2-4 year old); and
h) With a salary of P5,000.00/month.

Guidelines prescribing the steps and procedures for nannying services of the Day Care was immediate formulated.
