I am currently a second teacher at a local public school in Columbia.  I have been teaching for 7 years now, however I have worked in private schools and daycares for about 7 years before starting my teaching career. I have worked for several families from sittercity and others just around town and in other areas. If you would like for me to help with your little ones and know that they are in safe, good hands then I am the person for you.  I have plenty of references if you need them. Hope to be the person to be apart of your child's most important years of their life and also apart of your family. I also provide tutoring for math and reading from elementary to some middle school.

Laquisha helped with our little girl when my wife deployed. She was very good with her, patient, and is as nice a person you will meet. She will be great with your children.

QUisha is the best Nanny i've encountered since having my son. SHe has been with our family since ELijah was 18 months and is still working with us till this day. SHe is very good with children knows how to stir a child in the right direction when she see's them getting a bit rowdy and is very good at keeping the children entertained and for the most part happy. I alsways get a detialed report of any issues and just a run down of the evening form quisha without even asking; she's even taken my son on play dates with a co-workers son plus trips to the parks with both of my children. I realy lucked out with her and am really greatful to have her in our family!!

We entrusted LaQuisha with our daughter for about the last year. She has been very adaptable to the needs of an infant in the first year of life. She enjoys being able to teach children and help them learn and understand the world around them. She is very responsible and receptive to unexpected activities along the course of a day (afterall, even our little ones are not immune to a sudden illness or occasional boo-boo) and reports them immediately. Anyone that chooses her, will not be dissapointed in their decision. Fatina Clark
