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 35+ 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 own and operated in-home preschool for 5 years. We did everything from science, art & cooking projects. We also learned the basics on how to write numbers & letters. It is wonderful to see how much fun children can have with learning! I'm able to provide top-notch fun indoors & outdoors fun. I'm able to help with light housekeeping, meal prep and transportation. I'm looking for a new full time or part time nanny position that is long term. I look forward to speaking with your family and answering any questions you may have. Thanks !
Shaku is reliable, caring, and fantastic with kids. She keeps our children safe, happy, and engaged as a caregiver and we highly recommend her.
