Experience: 3 yrs
As a nurturing and experienced childcare provider with 10 years of experience, I find great joy in supporting families and fostering children's growth. My passion for caregiving stems from my positive experiences with my own children and in previous babysitting roles, where I discovered my knack for creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I pride myself on being patient, calm, and friendly, which allows me to connect easily with children. I ensure open communication with parents by providing regular updates about their child's day and promptly addressing any concerns that arise. My approach to enforcing household rules is gentle yet firm, ensuring a harmonious environment for both children and parents. When it comes to activities, I love engaging children in outdoor sports, physical games, and educational games that stimulate their minds. I also have lifeguard training and would be delighted to supervise your children's pool time, should you wish.
Shikona has been with our family since my daughter was 6 months old. She is calm, engaging, tidy and loves my daughter like her own. We trust her wholeheartedly and are only parting ways because our daughter is starting preschool. We highly recommend Shikona.
