A little bit about me

Hi I'm Shirron, I'm an middle age early 50's single woman who has raised 2 kids of my own. I just love taking care and providing quality care for children. I believe in early childhood education so I think it's very important to have smaller kids engaging in educational tasks while at home. I have my own transportation which is in great condition for running errands and other needs as school and oustide activity pick-up. I'm a great cook and I tend to eat a lot of vegetables which I've always passed on to my own children for good nutrition.

A little bit about me

Hello, my names Iman and I am currently a college student at Temple. I am working towards getting re-certified in CPR and first aid. I have all older siblings so I was an aunt at a very young age and I have always loved watching children. I started nannying for a family friend in 2020 since I was virtual for school. I also worked at a daycare at a gym for a little over a year, so I have experience watching kids of all ages. I would love to help with tidying up and meal prepping when I am nannying. My favorite things to do with the children are to play outside, do arts and crafts, and learn new hobbies with them.

A little bit about me

I have a strong background in caregiving, with extensive experience working with families and children of all ages. As the oldest of four girls, I naturally stepped into a leadership and nurturing role from a young age, helping care for and guide my younger sisters. Over the years, I have expanded this experience by working with a wide range of families, supporting children with diverse needs.

I’m very outgoing, playful, and active — qualities that come from playing sports all my life — and I enjoy bringing that energy into the way I interact with kids. I believe in keeping children engaged, whether through play, learning, or creativity. Academically, I’ve tutored many students and have worked with various nonprofit organizations that focus on assisting children with mental disabilities and preparing students for college success.
