A little bit about me

Hi I’m Rylee! I am an energetic, highly dedicated caregiver who truly loves what I do. I bring 4 years of professional childcare experience working with kids aged 2 to 10. My approach is entirely hands-on, play-based, and educational. I specialize in turning everyday moments into fun learning experiences, whether through creative arts, outdoor and everyday activities. Fostering strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents is the foundation of my care. I am incredibly reliable, highly organized, and committed to providing a stable, nurturing environment. I also have hands-on experience supporting children with autism, which has deeply taught me how to be patient, adaptive, and attentive to unique sensory and behavioral needs. I would love to connect and see how I can support your family!

Hello,
My name is Shara Sholar. I have over 10 years of experience working in public schools, Concentrated Educational Classes and IEP learning plans, live events including children and I am also a mother myself. I am looking to form a relationship with a busy family that could use a bit of help at home, with homework and their children.

My son and I love attending local events, visit local libraries and working on life skills. I would like to have an opportunity to bring my son into a bond with other children as he is an only child and I am looking to make life long friends as well as providing exceptional personal care and home care for a family that is looking for the same work life balance as I am for my family.
