About Shania

Experience: 12 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile. I'm looking to return to childcare after taking time off to settle into my new life in California. I moved here in July from the DC area for my predoctoral internship and am a doctoral student in Clinical Psychology, graduating in May 2025. I earned my master's in Clinical Psychology in 2022 and specialize in early childhood mental health. I've worked at a child development center (infants, toddlers, and older kids) and provided childcare as a side job through college and grad school. I've cared for 2-year-old twins, infants, neurodivergent children, children with selective mutism, and mostly kids ages 2-7. I even babysat six kids at a wedding! Parents have praised me as attentive, caring, reliable, and fun. Every local family I babysat for became repeat clients. I'm happy to provide references, including one family I worked with biweekly for 1. 5 years. I look forward to hearing from you!

Shania is an absolute treasure! She has connected instantly with our eight year old daughter and she can't want for Shania to come back! Shania was very attentive to the interests of our daughter and she was not only well taken care of but had a blast as well.
