Howdy! I am a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology with a passion for working with children and ensuring adequate child development. I have over 10 years of experience babysitting/nannying. I believe that kids should be able to express themselves creatively and physically (as in not stay in the house all day). English is my first language, but I can speak and understand basic Spanish as well. As for my caregiving philosophy, it mostly depends on the parents. My mission is to ensure that the child's needs are always met. I am quite active and love spending time outside and/or playing games. I pride myself on being creative and accommodating, and have yet to meet a kiddo that would say different :). Additionally, I have experience working with newborns, toddlers, and teens. I also have experience working with kids that have developmental delay and/or Autism. I am CPR, First Aid, and Read more AED certified. I am also comfortable with animals (dogs, cats, birds, etc.)

Great communication. She arrived 10 minutes early to meet our daughter. She asked great questions. Our daughter took to her right away.

Shade' is very dependable, prompt, and responsible. Our 2 year old Grandson loves her as does our 7 year old daughter. She has been a true blessing and we have been so grateful to have her with us. She communicates very well about status and daily activities. We highly recommend her!

Awesome! She asked if there were any food allergies. She read to my children. She asked all of the right questions which was good because you want a sitter that ask questions. She passed all of my background checks. I own a daycare center so I was able to run a deeper background check on her. She is a student at UTSA and professors had great things to say. She is our regular now.
