Experience: 10 yrs
I am a retired Buffalo Public School teacher. I have experience teaching pre-k, kindergarten and first grade. I have worked in daycare, caring for infants, toddlers, pre-k and school-age children. I have a degree and experience working with children with special needs. I am very caring and nurturing. I remember how difficult it was for me to leave my daughters when they were young. I am dedicated to provide your children with the same care I would expect for my own children and grandchildren. I love to interact with children and provide developmentally appropriate experiences that make them happy and excited about learning. Although I have had coursework and experience with child development, I feel that the parents know their own child and have the most vested interest in their child's growth and development so I do my best to follow the parents' expectations and routines. I would love the opportunity to meet with you to see if I would be a good fit for your family's needs.
We cannot recommend Shahna enough. She’s watched our baby since she was three months old. She was so patient and understanding with her and helped her through each milestone. She is so kind and has such an open heart. She is also punctual and understanding of our time. You will not regret hiring her for a second!
