I am patient, dependable, and passionate about creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. Whether it's helping with daily routines, organizing activities, or simply being a trusted caregiver, I strive to provide families with reliable, high-quality care. I am currently available through July 17 and would love the opportunity to support your family this summer.

Whether it's helping with homework, planning fun activities, preparing simple meals, or sticking to bedtime routines, I'm committed to making each family's day a little easier.

Hello all, My name is Shakira. I’m originally from Rochester, Ny but I’ve relocated down to Norfolk, Va for college. I’m the youngest sibling of many so for most of my life I’ve been babysitting all my nieces and nephew. I’m very energetic and down to earth so for me it’s easy to connect with kids of all ages. I’m a jack of all trades so I’m open to doing any activity that a kid might enjoy including sports, baking, walking, reading, and video games/board games. I am a sponge when it comes to information so anything I don’t know I will make sure I learn it. I look forward to connecting with your family.
