About Shakuntala
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! I have been a nanny for 30+ years. I have an ECE education, first aid and CPR also certified in children's nutrition. I have three dogs. We just adopted the third one from a shelter. I enjoy horseback riding and going for walks. I raised two children of my own and I've been married for almost 30 years. My greatest joy is caring for children and to see each milestone they take. I owned an in-home preschool for 5 years that brought me great joy in teaching. I also cared for three families on Cannon Air Force Base. Safety for your child and open communication with parents is number one for me. Always willing to help out with light house keeping cooking / meal preparation and supervising activities. I look forward to meeting your family, and your children. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!

Shaku was very professional, always on time, great with communication and tirelessly tried to connect with our child. She was also able to show up when we needed her in a pinch! She’s great!
