As an experienced 26-year-old nanny, I have 7 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages - from infants to teenagers. I'm a responsible, creative, and patient caregiver who is comfortable handling a wide range of special needs, including anxiety, ADHD, autism, asthma, diabetes, food allergies, OCD, and sleep disorders. In addition to my first-aid certification, I have a diverse skill set that includes reading, crafting, music, and game playing. I'm also happy to help with homework, cooking, chores, and caring for pets. With my own car and a valid driver's license, I'm able to provide transportation as needed. I'm excited to meet your family and learn how I can best support your children's unique needs and interests. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
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.

I’m skilled at handling challenging situations calmly and responsibly while maintaining open and positive communication with parents. Families often describe me as trustworthy, compassionate, energetic, and reliable. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, explore, and build confidence in a caring and structured environment. My goal as a caregiver is always to provide dependable support to families while ensuring children are happy, safe, and well cared for.

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!”
