A little bit about me

My name is Shanta Ricks, I am an experienced educator and caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages and abilities. Throughout my career, I have worked in daycare centers, school settings, and within the special needs community.
I hold multiple certifications in human services and have also completed EMT training, giving me a strong foundation in both child safety and emergency preparedness. Currently, I work as a full-time special education teacher and am seeking a part-time nanny position for the summer while school is on break.
As a wife and mother of two daughters, I understand the importance of creating a nurturing, structured, and engaging environment where children can thrive. I love encouraging creativity through reading, writing, outdoor exploration, and hands-on learning activities.
Families who work with me can expect a dependable, patient, and caring professional who treats every child with the same level of attention and compassion.
