Hi! I’m Shellita, a college graduate with 4+ years of experience providing occasional babysitting. I’ve cared for children through family and church settings and enjoy helping with date nights and as-needed care. Reliable, patient, and attentive.

Shellita was absolutely amazing! Kaiden connected with her instantly, and she interacted with him so gently and thoughtfully. She’s incredibly kind-hearted, responsible, and nurturing—not to mention perfectly on time. Kaiden woke up raving about how much fun he had with her! Her positive energy was unmatched, and we can’t wait to have her back in our home. Highly recommend!

Hello to all the beautiful families out there! My name is Farrah, and I am a current Doctor of Chiropractic student who has always loved caregiving. Since the age of 13, I partook in caregiving services for children ages three mos -16 years of age and seniors under my unofficial company name, FairBear Cares Babysitting Services. Fun fact, the name FairBear came from the babies I used to teach dance to for about 4-5 years while in high school. They were too young to enunciate my name, so they called me "Miss Faywuh or Miss Fare." In Whitney Houston's song, The Greatest Love of All, she said, "I believe the children are our future," and that gives a glimpse of why caregiving is so special to me. The joy and authenticity of kids is so refreshing and honestly an inspiration to me. I also live to serve, so giving back in any capacity is my true heartthrob. With that being said, I have experience in the healthcare field from working in Long-term acute care facilities and memory care senior homes, enabling me to sharpen skills such as empathy, patience, and being more nurturing to the patients and their families. I absolutely LOVE transforming a caregiving experience, so it is immersive, engaging, and peaceful for those being looked after. I am grateful for you considering me for the opportunity to love on your Loved ones. I wish you a remarkable rest of your day. Light and Love! ~Farrah
