Early Years Childcare

Hiya!
My name is Mark Lim. In 2008, I left my career in one of the top investment banks in Malaysia to pursue my passion in Childcare. Now, I work as a Nursery Nurse in the UK, and will be starting a postgrad course in Early Years Professional Status (EYPS) in September 2009. Someday, I’ll (hopefully) even run my own Childcare Centre!

I’ve always been amazed at people who can entertain kids no matter the situation. Give them a sheet of paper and they’ll fold an origami Transformer. Sing any song and they’ll know the lyrics AND the dance moves. Put them in an empt...
