Hi! My name is Shimaine, but you can call me Shi (pronounced like “shy”). I’m a loving, fun, and patient caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with people of all ages. My journey started in middle school and high school, babysitting for families in my community. During undergrad, I worked for an on-call nanny agency, gaining even more hands-on experience with children of all ages. I later worked as a CNA and direct care provider, assisting individuals with daily living tasks, light housekeeping, and meal prep. When it comes to kids, I’m all about keeping them entertained and engaged. Whether it’s playing games, doing crafts, or coming up with creative ways to make daily routines more fun. I understand that every child is different, and I know how to connect with them on their level. Currently, I’m a Registered Behavior Technician and working toward my Behavior Analyst certification, so I have plenty of experience with structure, positive reinforcement, and making learning fun. As a dog owner, I’m comfortable with pets and happy to help in pet-friendly homes. I have a reliable vehicle, CPR certification, and a strong commitment to making life easier for families. Looking forward to helping out however I can!

“I've worked with and highly recommend Shi as a babysitter! As an RBT, they have exceptional experience working with children, including those with diverse needs. Their patience, creativity, and ability to keep kids engaged make them a fantastic caregiver. Parents can trust that their children are in safe, capable, and caring hands!”

Hi! I'm currently a college student majoring in psychology with aspirations for nursing school! At present, I have no idea exactly what I would like to specialize in, but I have a feeling it will ultimately be in pediatrics. I've spent most of my life working with children, be it as a general babysitter, a nanny, a peer mentor, a tutor, a lifeguard, or a camp counselor at a sleep away camp for several years. I love getting to know kids and helping them foster their interests and creativity, as well as teaching them to think out of the box! In my free time I love to go on hikes, play guitar, and most importantly I love to teach myself new things! I'm looking forward to working with you and your family.

“Very helpful and great attitude and pleasant demeanor”

I am a mother of two, wildly energetic toddlers under the age of 5! I have a Masters in Social Work, am passionate about the neurodivergent community and I'm a houseplant enthusiast! My love for pets is unmatched and unbiased (cats + dogs are equally adored). I have experience as a part-time nanny (10+ years) and continue to work with children presently. I welcome the opportunity to support any household needs families may have as well!

Hello, My name is Vanessa, and I am a high school teacher. I taught language arts for 20 years and am currently in the discipline department at a high school. I have experience with children and pets, and I speak fluent Spanish and English. I have helped take care of my grandmother, so I can assist in taking care of an elderly person. I am organized, disciplined, and caring. I also have two dogs and a bird, so I am experienced in caring for animals.

"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!"
