A little bit about me
Hi! I’m La’Shae, a 22 year-old dependable, compassionate childcare professional with experience caring for children ranging from infants to preteens. My background includes providing attentive care for a 3-month-old infant, as well as supporting school-aged children with homework, transportation, meal preparation, and after-school activities. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, build confidence, and have fun while following consistent routines. With my background in psychology and child development, I enjoy supporting children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth while building trusting relationships with both children and parents. Families describe me as patient, responsible, organized, and someone they can count on to provide reliable, high-quality care. I’m now looking for a long-term position with a family that values open communication, mutual trust, and a genuine partnership in helping their children thrive.
