My name is Shaina Stokes. I am a Career Nanny and Childcare Provider. My passion & goal for every family I work with, is to help facilitate flow & unity, both functionally & between its members. As a professional caregiver for a decade and a half, I've noticed there are two key components that greatly shape our experiences each day, from birth to adulthood, for all people. One of them is the home atmosphere as a whole unit. How functional is it, is there excess, order, organization, etc.? Because children grow so quickly & develop so fast, it can be hard to keep up with all of their belongings, constantly coming and going, in addition to preparing of what they’ll need next. That doesn’t even include keeping up with the usual daily tasks and your own needs!! If this happens to be the case, which does with nearly every family, Read more it's extremely hard to find time to organize, and set up systems for a rapidly changing the dynamic, which seems unpredictable! The second is, the quality of the relationships between the home’s collective members. Throughout my career thus far, I’ve gained great perspective on family life, what raising a family looks like, and just how beautiful, wonderful, & difficult it can really be! With this insight, I feel internally moved to continue on my own personal growth journey to become & show up as my "best-self" each day, sharing with the family, what I have to offer and all that I’ve learned. I consider it a great privilege to be a part of the families' lives I work with.Though my passion & focus with children, are rooted in love that embraces play, creativity, & learning as a daily focus, I share an equal value of the importance to exemplify: kindness, build self-confidence, respect, honesty, promote independence, upholding basic moral principles, & the value of practicing routines, regimes, & rhythms daily. It is an Understatement to Say that, while raising a family, prioritizing the importance of fulfilling the above-mentioned elements and principles each day, can be Exceptionally Challenging, without the help & support of others! Families are multi-dimensionally, unique parts & characteristics shifting overtime, as development evolves. I do believe that it takes a village, maybe two! I'm confident that, while there will always be more to learn with each family I partner with, my previous roles have harnessed me with substantial exposure & experience of big-picture operations, work, & love that goes into creating a Happy-Home!

Trust & safety
