Shana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello My name is Shana I am a single mother of 4. I've worked in childcare for 4 years as a lead infant teacher. My four years of experience caring for children aged 0-5 , including being lead infant teacher and working with toddlers, have solidified my desire to positively impact young lives. I'm patient, creative, and friendly, always striving to create a fun and engaging environment. Communication is key, so I will always keep you informed about your child's day, using your preferred method. I have a car, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. Supporting families by providing reliable care is important to me. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children, and I look forward to the possibility of working with your family! Only thing is I'm will be on a family trip from September 18-20 but that's all the trips I have planned for this year. I look forward to hearing back from you and being able to help you and your family.

"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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
