Hi ! I am Shaniya ! Caring for children has been one of the most meaningful parts of my life since graduating high school. I'm warm, patient, energetic, dependable, and passionate about helping children feel safe, loved, confident, and excited to learn. I have 16 college credits in Early Childhood Education from Grand Canyon University and am continuing my education. My experience includes three years as an Infant Lead Teacher, Toddler Lead Teacher experience, and two years as a nanny. I love keeping up with curious minds and turning everyday moments into learning opportunities through outdoor adventures, reading, creating, playing, and exploring. I encourage independence, creativity, confidence, and a love of learning while respecting each family's routines and parenting style. I value open communication and understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can truly trust. Caring for children is more than a job to me; it's something I genuinely love.
Shaniya formed with my son from the moment she met him when he was one year old, and over the course of the year and a half that Shaniya looked after him, they formed a a strong bond. She is attentive and caring and really made the extra effort to get to know him, his likes, dislikes, etc. She made sure to follow up with us and check in on him even when she wasn't looking after him, letting us know that she really cared. Our son loves her and despite us not working with Shaniya day-to-day anymore, he still talks about her and he is always delighted to see her, when we run into her in the neighborhood. I highly recommend her for any parent looking for care for their young child.
