Meet Shakeya

  • Comfortable with pets

  My name is Shakeya B, and I am a caring and attentive individual who has always had a passion for working with children. Throughout my life, I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to care for and positively impact the lives of many young ones.   In terms of experience, I have been actively involved in babysitting for the past 5 years. I have worked with children of various ages, ranging from infants to pre-teens. This hands-on experience has equipped me with valuable skills such as diaper changing, feeding, soothing techniques, and age-appropriate playtime activities. I am well-versed in ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for children under my care.   To further enhance my knowledge and skills, I have also undergone relevant training and obtained certifications. These include first aid and CPR, which are essential in providing emergency care if the need arises. I believe in Read more maintaining a proactive approach to safety and well-being, and these certifications reflect my commitment to ensuring your children's welfare.   Additionally, I have pursued courses and workshops on child development, behavior management, and age-appropriate learning activities. Understanding the unique needs of each child and being able to tailor my caregiving approach accordingly is something I value greatly.   It is important to note that while certifications and training are significant, my genuine love for children and dedication to their happiness and growth truly drive my commitment to being an exceptional nanny. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and engaging environment where your children feel loved, supported, and cherished.
