Hello! My name is Sharai and I am a kid-loving care giver, artist and educator! I have experience working with infants to teenagers, and have continued my passion of caring for kids and fostering their growth and knowledge both in an outside the classroom. With kids I love being active, doing art and imaginative play, and outside of work I love to ride my bike, read and bake.
Hi! I’m Sabrina — a college student and part-time Behavior Therapist with a passion for working with children. I’ve been a BT for the past year, supporting kids with autism and a wide range of behavioral needs, from ages 2 to 11. I’ve received professional training in managing tantrums, emotional regulation, and challenging behaviors—and I genuinely love what I do. I can clean, provide transportation, play, and do other necessary tasks! I’m also CPR certified (as of March) and always prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for every child in my care. Whether you’re looking for someone patient, energetic, or experienced with special needs, I’m here to help. I’m excited to meet your family and provide the best care possible!

Nurturing children and supporting families has been my passion for 13 years. Recently I was a 1:1 paraprofessional for a student with down syndrome and I was a substitute paraprofessional for a student with autism. I am a patient, creative caregiver who loves engaging kids through outdoor sports, educational games, and imaginative crafts. I am comfortable managing multiple children and following your household rules to maintain consistency. I value open communication and will provide updates through your preferred method, whether that is a text or a conversation at pickup. I also assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping to keep your home running smoothly. I am certified as a Paraeducator in NH and I am currently enrolled in courses to become a Registered Behavioral Therapist. I look forward to being a positive part of your family's daily life!! Happy to submit my resume upon request!
