Hello, thank you for stopping by! My name is Shira Christensen. I have had about 20 years of child care and 8 years of caregiving experience. I have been a camp counselor twice, worked for the Cranston YMCA, and watched my friend's children for years. I am a 2016 graduate from URI with a major in History and minors in English and Africana Studies. I love to read, cook, swim, play games, and make crafts. I am great at following instructions and implementing the schedule and rules that you have set in place. I can absolutely help with homework. I have my own transportation. Than you for your time!
