Hi, i am currently a senior in high school looking a for family in need of child care. I was previously a dancer and basketball player. I also am in different community groups such as the Young and Prosperous Foundation and Black Girls United. My mother owns her own daycare, so i grew up in an environment of always helping her out with taking care of the kids, and eventually when i was old enough i started working for her.

A little bit about me

I am a 34-year-old nanny with 18+ years of experience. I am a remote graduate school student obtaining my Master of Science in Mental Health Therapy with a specialization in Youth and Adolescents. I am passionate in my belief that a healthy and happy childhood is imperative for a positive foundation into adulthood.

I have reliable transportation (2015 Subaru Crosstrek, 55,000 miles) and a clean driver's record. I am currently looking for a family seeking childcare. I have open availability at the moment and can be available for one-off date nights, travel, etc. I love to work with kids of all ages, between toddlers (1-2+) and teens. I take a hands-on approach and enjoy age-appropriate learning games, reading, planning crafts, outdoor activities, and more.

Please feel free to message me with any questions or to schedule a meeting to discuss further! Recommendations available.

"We absolutely adored Shaina, and so did my kiddos. She was extremely patient, kind and loving. She has such a calming demeanor about herself which isn’t always easy to do with toddlers. She didn’t just put them in front of a T.V. and let the screen be the babysitter, but she actually did arts and crafts and took them to the park. She kept their little busy with essential learning material. She also had them exercising and made it fun. They hated it when she had to change positions from our home. But we understood that with her schooling she needed something part time. Shaina would be an absolute asset to any family that will have her!"

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Kendall and I am recently relocating from Boulder, Colorado to San Diego. I am beyond excited to trade the mountains for the beach and take advantage of San Diego's sunshine. I have 6+ years of experience working with children in a nannying setting as well as volunteer work at the Children's Hospital Colorado. I love kids and outside of nannying I enjoy going to Corepower Yoga, spending time outside, cooking/baking, and listening to live music! I am looking for a full time nannying job until I start my career as I recently graduated college from the University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in Strategic Communications and a minor in Philosophy. I look forward to creating new connections in California and becoming a part of your family!
