Experience: 10 yrs
I've been working with children for nearly 20 years. I'm experienced with all ages, from 2 months to 11 years. I'm passionate about childcare. I take a holistic approach, prioritising fresh air, play, wholesome plant based meals, and healthy sleep habits. I love finding creative ways to teach children, weaving education into our play, and problem solving the little hiccups that arise along the way. It's important to me to build strong, trusting relationships with my families. My goals as a nanny are to model and instil good character, support my charges' health and well being, and foster their journeys towards becoming mature, independent adults.
I truly can't recommend Shena enough as a caregiver. My wife and I were first-time parents when Shena joined us and she had such grace and intelligence—and a surprising amount of childcare experience for someone her age—that I honestly don't know how we'd have fared without her. She certainly helped me at least be a better parent. Shena is extremely attentive, detail-oriented, collaborative, and intentional, and made both our infant son and us feel like we were in capable, loving hands from the moment she joined our family. Our son is now 13 and would tell you the same thing.
