Hi! I'm Shalaja. or Shay for short! I was recently honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corps and am currently in college, studying for my PhD in psychology. I have been babysitting since 15, as well as helping to care for my siblings children since 16! I am CPR and first aid certified for both adults and children and am experienced in caring for children newborn to elementary age. I am also qualified to care for pets so your fur babies are in good hands :) I love to cook and clean, so I would not mind doing some housekeeping while caring for your little ones! I look forward to hearing from you!
