Find an after school nanny in Sun Valley, CA

Hello There, I'm Shanya. I'm originally from Boston, MA. and went to college in New York city, where I lived for about 15 years. I've been in LA for the past 3 years and I run a freelance design business from home. In addition to my design business, I spend a lot of my free time working several passions art projects. Some of the things that I'm passionate about include sustainability, creative experimentation and arts education as a means for personal development and discovery. I love teaching art to people of all ages. Some of my past project include; 1) developing a maker market / craft fair in Portland, Oregon that supported the local maker community while teaching craft skills to children and adults, and 2) working as an art workshop instructor for a off Broadway theatre company, where I lead children in works that were later used as set decorations. For example during a production of the Little Mermaid the children made sea creatures that were used to decorate the stage during the live show. If your kids are into arts and crafts, I would love to work on something fun with them!

I am a compassionate young woman with over 10 years of diverse experience in childcare. As a teenager, I was the nanny to 3 neighboring families for 5 years. I grew very close with all of the kids and still keep in touch with them today. I view children as complex emotional beings and take the encouragement of their confidence and belief in themselves very seriously. I feel a natural ability to remain attuned to their needs, moods, and strengths and enjoying bringing creativity and joy into their lives through caregiving. Beyond traditional nanny experience, I have extensive experience teaching creative movement and dance techniques to children. I am also interested in assisting children in their educational development through homework help or in-home education, particularly in the humanities. I am tidy, organized, a good cook, and a punctual employee. I would love to meet you & provide references if you feel I would be a good fit for your family. Thank you!

I've recently taken a break from running operations for tech startups on the East Coast, and relocated from Boston, MA to sunny Los Angeles! As I've settled into West Coast life, I've enjoyed building a practice of home care, dog sitting, personal assistance, and household services. I have clientele from Long Beach to Santa Monica to the Hollywood Hills and have helped them with childcare, pet care, errands, house cleaning, cooking, scheduling, driving and small business support. Personally, I'm a proud dog mom of Riley, a 3 year old Belgian Shepherd, and Skipper, a 5 year old Shih Tzu; and an even prouder aunt to 10 year old Teagan and 7 year old Avery.
