Not to be rude in any way, but if you are unsure of how to wire a basic switch, you should leave this job for a professional or a friend who has experiance working with electricity and household wiring standards.

Once again, this is not to insult you, but working with electricity can be VERY hazardous if you don't know what you're doing.

I agree with MaDgamEr. If your not sure on how to do things, then maybe you should leave it to a trained professinal or someone who has knowledge in basic wiring. Just as a safety precaution, the last thing you want to do is put you and/or your family in any danger.

4ft away from water and it has to be GFCI (ground fault circut interceptor). You junction a maximum of 4 lines per box. If you do not have 4 ft from the vanity then you put it outside.

Go to Home Depot, in the electrical section they sell the book "Electrical Code Simplified" for about $13. This book will answer all your questions.

In Ontario, the only people who are allowed to work on a home's wiring are the homeowner or a licensed electrician. Get a permit, do the work as per the electrical code, and have it inspected.
