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!”
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.

“I am absolutely honored to recommend Jayashree as a caregiver. She has been my personal care provider, and from day one, she brought a level of warmth, professionalism, and genuine compassion that is truly rare to find. What sets Jayashree apart is her extraordinary background — over 20 years as a paraprofessional educator. That experience means she doesn't just care for the people in her charge; she understands them. She is attuned to individual needs, communicates with patience and clarity, and adapts effortlessly to whatever a situation requires. Whether it's a child who needs gentle encouragement, a senior who needs steady support, or a family who simply needs someone they can trust — Jayashree shows up fully, every single time. She is reliable, punctual, and deeply professional. I never have to wonder if she'll follow through — she always does, and then some. Her calm, positive energy puts everyone at ease, and her nurturing nature makes those in her care feel seen, safe, and genuinely valued. Beyond personal care, Jayashree is also resourceful and helpful around the household — managing daily tasks, meal preparation, and scheduling with quiet efficiency so that families can focus on what matters most. If you are looking for a caregiver who combines the heart of a dedicated teacher with the skill of a seasoned professional, Jayashree is the one. Your family will be in the very best hands. Recommended without hesitation — she is a true blessing.”
I am an animal advocate and love them dearly. I am a special education teacher. I have my own animals and bring animals into my classroom and they are wonderful additions to my classroom and my students. I have rescued over 45 bunnies all different breeds and found them loving homes. I have personally fostered kittens, guinea pigs and bottle fed different types of birds. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds (parakeets, love birds, green cheek conures and cockatiels). When I was in high school I worked in an exotic pet store.
