Nataliia Shyshak has not completed Child Care Basics and was working alone on the premises with 11 children when I arrived today. Although Tyukalo reports that Shyshak has completed Safe Sleep training she was unable to produce verification of that today and it is not showing in MERIT. Although Tyukalo reports that Shyshak has a current food handler's permit, she was unable to produce verification of that today and it is not showing in MERIT. Shyshak assisted Tyukalo with serving the children lunch today. Neither Nathasha Rosnoslik nor provider Valentina Kyukalo have completed BBP training on an annual basis. Valentina Kyukalo's Safe Sleep training expired in 2022. She has not served an infant since that time so did not think she needed to renew her training.
