About Shafia

Hello! I have 15+ years of experience as a tutor, nanny, babysitter, housekeeper, and family/personal assistant, supporting families with academics, childcare, errands, meal prep, and organization. I've worked in schools, libraries, and homes as an SFUSD AVID tutor, volunteer academic coach, and substitute teacher. My first student went on to attend SF's School of the Arts! I support reading, writing, essays, exam prep, and English learners. I love making learning engaging through science, art, nature, and hands-on projects. I'm active in the Bay Area community through local Chambers of Commerce, Wildlife Conservation Network, Northern California Recycling Association, and Race to Zero Waste. I am the founder of Hakuna Matata Vibes, a social impact business centered on creativity, conservation, and wellness. I offer stationery, educational material, workshops, wedding services, and am working to inspire action for wildlife conservation, environmental justice, and human rights.
