About Shakiya

I have 4 years of childcare experience. I started by taking care of my younger siblings, which gave me a strong foundation in patience, communication, and understanding how kids grow. From there, I began getting paid babysitting jobs with cousins and family friends, and I've loved every part of watching children hit new milestones. I value growth, independence, and creating an environment where kids feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. Socialization is very important to me--I love helping children build confidence through play, conversation, and positive interaction. I'm experienced with calming tantrums, helping little ones self-regulate, and keeping routines consistent. I also do well with teens and can relate to them enough to build trust while still maintaining boundaries. Families describe me as warm, responsible, and attentive. I'm here to make your life easier and your child's day brighter.
