About Shanda

Nurturing children and supporting families has been my professional focus for the past 12+ years. My approach is rooted in patience and creativity, ensuring every child feels heard and valued. I hold car seat training (I can help install those pesky car seats), CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications to prioritize safety in every environment. I have worked as a certified lactation counselor and babywearing expert to help families transition into parenthood with a newborn or infant. For older children, whether we are solving puzzles, playing educational games, or exploring the natural world, I strive to make a positive impact on their development. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and am happy to assist with carpooling, errands, and light housekeeping. I prioritize clear communication and will provide updates via your preferred method. I look forward to building a meaningful connection with your family and helping your children thrive!
