About Shakela

Experience: 3 yrs

Nurturing children and watching them blossom has always been a passion. With three years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, I offer a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. I'm comfortable caring for one child at a time, providing personalized attention and engaging activities. I communicate with parents through daily reports, verbal updates, and texts, and I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational games with children, and I'm happy to help with cooking and meal preparation. I'm also skilled in swimming supervision. I have some college experience, First Aid Training, CPR Training, am TrustLine certified, and have completed Early Child Development coursework. I'm eager to bring my skills and enthusiasm to your family, creating a safe and happy environment where your child can thrive, and I look forward to the possibility of building a lasting relationship with your family.

Shakela is everything you could hope for when looking for someone to look after your children. She engages so easily with our two boys (3 and 7), including one with autism/ADHD. We don't have to ask her to do things - she just intuitively does them, ensuring their needs are met and that they're learning at the same time. Beyond all that, she's just a nice, positive person - the total package.
