Meet Shona

  • Comfortable with pets

Hey there! I’m Shona, a gap-year student with a deep-seated passion for wellness and health. With a warm and bubbly personality, I find immense joy in caring for children and fostering their growth in a nurturing environment. Extensive Experience: With over 7 years of babysitting experience, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children of all ages, including those with diverse needs on the neurodivergent spectrum. Growing up as the eldest in a large African family has further honed my caregiving skills. * Skills and Services: Beyond traditional childcare, I excel in meal preparation tailored to specific dietary requirements and enjoy engaging children in enriching activities that stimulate creativity and learning. * Professional Credentials: Certified in Clinical Medical Assistance and CPR, I prioritize safety and well-being in every aspect of childcare. My background in healthcare adds depth to my ability to handle emergencies calmly and effectively. Commitment and Reliability: Known Read more for my punctuality and organizational skills, I maintain clear and transparent communication regarding my availability, ensuring peace of mind for parents. Passion for Development: I approach each child as a unique individual, dedicated to supporting their personal growth and educational journey. My enthusiasm for working with young minds is matched by a genuine desire to make a positive impact in their lives. Availability and Approach I currently work part-time in retail, ensuring my schedule is transparent and organized. I’m available Tuesday through Friday with flexibility, and Saturday nights to accommodate your family’s needs. Each child I care for holds a special place in my heart, and I approach every day with enthusiasm and a commitment to making a positive impact. Let’s connect! I’d love to chat more about how I can support your family and provide exceptional care for your kids.
