A little bit about me

Hello, My name is La'Shanda Thomas, but my little ones call me Coco. I am a wife, mother of 4 and grandmother of 7. My career has been in housekeeping and janitorial services in the refinery. Since my contract ended in March of 2023, I have decided to change my career status to more meaningful venue in caring for children. My grandchildren live out of town and I have so much love to share and I want to share that with families that would welcome me and my care with their families as well.

"I highly recommend LaShandra as a nanny. From our first meeting, we connected instantly, leading to a genuine friendship based on trust and shared values. LaShandra has a wonderful spirit that resonates with children. Her nurturing and loving nature creates a safe and welcoming environment. My daughter, usually shy due to autism, hugged LaShandra and wanted to go with her, which highlights her comforting presence. My son also tried new fruits for the first time thanks to LaShandra's gentle encouragement. Her patient demeanor helped him feel secure and adventurous. If you're looking for someone who truly cares for children and brings positivity into their lives, LaShandra is the perfect choice. Her approach fosters security, joy, and excitement in learning new things. I wholeheartedly recommend her."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

My only experience is being a mother of four, and now a grandmother of ten beautiful grandchildren. I am the Auntie that the nieces and nephews love to be around, because in their words, Auntie/ Coco is alright. I am 55 years old and a divorced woman. My children are all gone and my last two, twin boys are home with me only on the weekend. I have time and there is no rush in my steps so to love and care for children has always been something that’s natural for me. So this is where I am with experience.

Thank you,
Shan

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I like reading, coloring, painting, singing, outdoor games, movies, tea parties and forts.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is everything. Taking care of the children, loving them, showing how special and in my heart they will be. I would treat your children as if they were my own. Love and protect them. To see them smile when they see me coming or crying like a lonely cowboy/girl hate to see me walk away at the end of the day, that’s when you know it’s real.

My experience with special needs children...

I have not had many experiences with special needs children. I have shadowed instructors, but never personally had to care for any children with special needs. I have family and a few friends whose children are, everyday is not always smooth, they cope and I have seen it first hand few times. The responsibility can be overwhelming but with caring loved ones, nothing is impossible.
