Experience: 8 yrs
I'm a warm, patient, and compassionate caregiver with years of experience supporting children, new mothers, and grandparents. My background as a Doula and Holistic Practitioner allows me to bring a calming presence and a deep understanding of emotional, mental, and behavioral needs. I specialize in gentle redirection, mindful communication, and creating nurturing environments where children feel safe, seen, and supported. I have worked with families during postpartum transitions, helped little ones manage big emotions, and provided dependable care that brings balance and peace into the home. Whether engaging children in play, guiding them through routines, or offering comfort during challenging moments, I show up with empathy, structure, and genuine love. My goal is always to support the whole family--helping children thrive while giving parents confidence and ease. I would be honored to provide consistent, reliable care for your family.
Shanita was a wonderful caregiver. She was kind. She went above and beyond with making sure each child was listened to and able to express themselves creatively. She communicated well with me and the children. She even straightened up and cleaned a little. She was amazing. Very memorable person and I would definitely hire her again.
