I am an intuitive, dedicated caregiver with deep roots in ECE and working closely with families. I started in preschools, then created & taught the English curriculum for kindergarten classes in a French elementary school, after some university studies in Psychology & International Relations . Families appreciate my ability to quickly read each child, create a calm & trusting environment, my detailed communication with parents. I'm experienced with overnights, navigating unpredictable moments. I have first hand & professional experience with newborns and with sick children requiring specialized care. In 2018, an opportunity lead me to switch industries. As a bridge for my two passions, I began coaching child actors for auditions & on-set work. I honed skills to build instant rapport, quickly adapt to different personalities, & keep the children engaged without burnout. I am warm, adaptable, and genuinely passionate about supporting children and their families.
Shailene was an incredible caregiver to my son and became such an important part of his early years. She picked him up from daycare, provided overnight care when needed, prepared nutritious meals, and incorporated so much Montessori-style learning into his daily routine. More than anything, she created a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where he truly thrived. As he got older and required less care, the bond they built remained so special. She is patient, dependable, caring, and genuinely passionate about children. I would highly recommend Shailene to any family looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly invested in a child’s growth and well-being.
