Hi, my name is Shatya! I’m 19 years old and I truly enjoy working with children. I’m patient, caring, and very attentive. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident with who’s caring for their child, and I take that responsibility seriously.
I’m calm, dependable, and good at creating a safe and positive environment. I love engaging kids in activities like reading, crafts, outdoor play, and anything that supports their creativity and development. I also believe in gentle communication and helping children feel heard and understood.
I’m very observant, organized, and I always try to bring a warm and positive energy into any home I’m in. My goal is to not only care for children, but to support their growth and make sure they feel safe, happy, and valued.
I would love the opportunity to help your family!

"Ingrid has been our live in nanny for over a year, she is dependable, dedicated, and punctual. We have 3 busy children (9,7, &4) and she keeps them entertained and active! We have had a lot of sitters over the years and she has been hands down the best! She interacts with the children, and always puts their needs first.
She has helped with homeschooling and all basic needs. She is a capable driver and has helped getting kids to and from school and activities. She is excellent with sick kids as well, I never hesitated to go to work knowing she was going to be with them. We are parting ways due to an impending move out of state, but we will be so sad to let her go."
