About Shakuntala

Experience: 35 yrs

Hello, families! My name is Shakuntala but I go by Shaku, I've been married for 29 years and raised two children. I love traveling, skydiving and horse back riding. I've been in childcare for 30+ years. I have an Early Childhood Education and am certified in infant and child first-aid and CPR. I worked in day care as a toddler teacher & enjoyed its challenges. I opened up my own in-home preschool. We did everything from science, art & cooking projects. We also learned the days of the week, writing and basic math. It is wonderful to see how much fun children can have with learning! I'm able to provide top-notch fun indoors & outdoors. I'm able to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and transportation. I am available for a new nanny position.. I look forward to speaking with your family, and answer any questions you have. Thanks !
