Hi! I'm Shalan, a caring, dependable childcare provider with 7+ years of experience caring for children from infants through teens, including children with special needs. I currently work in a special education setting and have experience supporting children with developmental disabilities, including nonverbal children who use AAC devices. I'm patient, attentive, nurturing, and comfortable adapting to each child's personality, routine, and individual needs. I can help with meals, homework, playtime, bedtime routines, personal care, and light child-related cleanup. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your child, so I prioritize safety, communication, and following each family's expectations. I'm available for recurring care, after-school care, date nights, occasional babysitting, and weekends. I'd love to connect and learn more about your family!
Absolutely AMAZING! I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. She was incredible with my 5-year-old daughter, and from the moment they met, I could tell my daughter felt comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for. My daughter is autistic, so finding someone who is patient, understanding, attentive, and willing to meet her where she is means the world to me. She went above and beyond to make sure my daughter was happy, comfortable, and engaged while respecting her individual needs and personality. As a parent, being able to leave your child with someone and feel completely at peace is priceless—and that’s exactly how I felt. She was caring, dependable, patient, and truly wonderful with my daughter. My daughter had such a great time, and that alone says everything! I would HIGHLY recommend her to any parent, especially families looking for someone who will treat their child with genuine kindness, patience, and care. We will absolutely be using her again! 💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
