About Shade

Hello! I am a University of Florida graduate with a degree in Biology and experience working with children in supportive, educational settings. I am nurturing, patient, and optimistic, and I strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, valued, and encouraged. I enjoy helping children build confidence, curiosity, and independence through clear communication, consistency, and kindness. I focus on understanding each child's unique personality and needs, and I tailor my approach to support their emotional, social, and developmental growth. My background in science and healthcare has strengthened my attention to detail, organization, and responsibility, which I bring into every childcare setting. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and supportive, and I am passionate about helping children feel safe, confident, and capable as they learn and grow.
