Shakira $13 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shakira, and I provide loving, reliable, and attentive childcare in a safe, fun, and positive environment. I previously worked as an infant daycare teacher and have experience caring for children of different ages and developmental stages. I’m currently attending college online while working at a police station during the week, and I hope to build a career in law enforcement. I enjoy creating a safe, caring environment where children can learn, play, and feel supported. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I enjoy keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational games, and creative activities. I can also help with homework, prepare simple meals and snacks, assist with bedtime routines, and encourage healthy daily habits. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with child-related household tasks such as washing bottles, cleaning up after meals, tidying play areas, children’s laundry, organizing children’s belongings, and keeping common areas neat. I have reliable transportation and a valid driver’s license. Current availability: • Monday and Wednesday: Available anytime. After 5pm • Friday through Sunday: Available anytime as needed. • Tuesday and Thursday: Currently unavailable due to my commitment to another family. Starting after September 1 when my law enforcement internship ends, my availability will change: • Monday and Wednesday : Available anytime. • Friday through Sunday: Available anytime as needed. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and communicative. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while providing children with a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where they can thrive.

Booked by 2 families in Lithonia, GA

I’m an experienced behavioral health professional with several years of experience working with children and families, including children with autism and developmental needs. I hold a master’s degree in psychology and am currently pursuing my Doctor of Behavioral Health. I’m patient, dependable, organized, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for kids. My professional background has given me experience supporting routines, managing challenging behaviors, communicating with families, and meeting each child where they are. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, activities, meals, light household tasks, and maintaining daily routines. After years in healthcare operations and leadership, I’m looking forward to getting back to more direct, meaningful work with children and families while completing my doctorate.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
