A little bit about me
Hello I’m Shaneka, I’ve worked with children for 11 years for the Air Force and Navy. I have experience within all age groups, and have worked in Japan, Italy, and here in the states doing what I love! I am CPR certified, hold a CDA, and fully vaccinated. I love watching kids grow and contributing to their journey. Great at multitasking, thinking quick on my feet and entertaining up to 7 little ones at a time. I love to do arts and crafts and sing my heart out with little ones LOL outside time is also a favorite! Last but not least I have a 7 year old daughter, she’s my little best friend that keeps me on my toes! I look forward to working with you all!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Arianna, and I have over 3 years of childcare experience working with children of various ages. I genuinely love being around kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they can learn and grow.
My proudest accomplishment has been starting a beginner language learning program for young children. Through that program, kids were able to learn the basics of a new language in a fun and engaging way. I’m passionate about helping children expand their skills, build confidence, and explore new opportunities.
In addition to childcare, I’ve also worked in children’s clothing stores, which strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to connect with both kids and parents. I am an enthusiastic, dependable, and hardworking individual who takes my responsibilities seriously. I am comfortable assisting with daily routines, homework help, light housekeeping, meal preparation, creative activities, and anything else that supports your family’s needs.
