Hello! I work part time in corporate but prior to my career change I worked as a preschool teacher for 8 years in traditional as well as Reggio Emilia and Montessori inspired programs. For a year I was the Assistant Preschool Director and first grade English teacher at a private multilingual immersion school. I also have two years of nanny experience for a family with an infant and a school age child, and worked as an assistant in an elementary school RSP (special Ed) program while in college. I have a 4 year old son (my only) who is the light of my life! I currently have house rabbits, and have been the loving pet parent to a canary, amphibians, a hamster and dogs over the years, including my beloved maltese mix, Ginger, who crossed the rainbow bridge in 2020 at the age of 14. I love to cook and laundry is my favorite chore. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Applied Cultural Anthropology from Cal State Long Beach, and have 21 Early Childhood Education/Child Development units from Santa Monica College and Cerritos College. English is my native langue, I speak limited French and have a fairly large vocabulary of Spanish and Korean words and phrases.
Hi! I have 16 years of childcare experience from nannying, babysitting, lifeguarding, teaching swim lessons, camp counseling, and interning at Rady Children’s hospital. For my entire collegiate career I had one main family and also worked for Chicago's #1 childcare agency, KGrace. I’ve also worked for childcare agencies in San Diego and Orange County. In August of 2023 I completed my medical doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I have a passion for working with children and love to be around their energy! I am CPR, first aid, epipen certified; I am up-to-date on all vaccines. I have a spotless driving and criminal history record. I am California Trust Line certified; this is legally the background check needed in CA to watch children. I love yoga, hiking, painting, trying new restaurants, and traveling. I look forward to speaking with you!

“Shahla was very helpful on short notice. She did a great job playing with my son and watching the baby. ”
I have over 6 years of childcare and 2 years of infant care experience. I have cared for children of various ages, which has helped me develop patience, reliability, strong communication skills, and a nurturing approach. I also have work experience with children of special needs and those on the spectrum. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am attentive, compassionate, and organized, with a natural ability to build trust and create a safe, positive environment. My experience includes supervising daily activities, homework help/tutoring, assisting with routines, meal preps, light household tasks relating to the child’s needs or any pet needs. I love animals and strongly believe that pets are a part of the family. In previous years I have helped with taking pets for walks, assisting with medical needs such as shots or giving medications with meals, as well as keeping them company while family members are traveling. I genuinely enjoy helping others and am eager to bring the same level of care, companionship, and dependability to any family that requires help.
