About Shantoria

I'm naturally loving. Nurturing young minds from birth and fostering their development is a true passion of mine. Previous nanny experiences solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives. I bring two years of dedicated childcare experience to your family as well as 8 years of parenting an 8-year-old gifted girl (previously homeschooled). I taught her to read at 9 months as well as speak several languages (ASL, Spanish, French, Mandarin and Swahili). I hold a graduate degree. I also have completed coursework in Early Child Development and Psychology. I am comfortable caring for children aged 0-11. First Aid Certified. My personality is patient, creative, and friendly. I enjoy teaching and learning from/with children doing age-appropriate puzzles, and educational activities with children. I'm comfortable maintaining household rules. I am mobile! Nanny experience and being a parent has taught me to be calm and resourceful.
