About Shanara

Nurturing young minds is more than a job for me; it's a genuine passion. My journey into childcare began with positive babysitting experiences and a deep desire to positively impact children's lives. With three years of experience, I provide attentive care to one child at a time. I hold a college degree, am a certified substitute teacher for Oakland Unified School District, and have completed Early Child Development coursework. I'm patient, creative, and friendly, always striving to create a fun and educational environment through board games, puzzles, and other learning activities. I'm happy to follow your lead in enforcing household rules and will keep you informed about your child's day using your preferred communication method. I am CPR and First Aid trained. I am willing to assist with carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel. Knowing I can contribute to a child's happiness and development brings immense joy to my day.
