Hi - My name is Shani and I'm currently a part time student. I've been working with kids since I was in high school, as my parents had a family daycare and I’ve loved it since then. I started by watching my siblings, and then working in the family business in then began babysitting for kids in our neighborhood. Over the last few years, I've worked primarily with toddler’s and middle school aged, but I love kids of all ages. If it's nice out, I like to take the kids out, I’m very much a outdoor person but if not I love putting my creative skills to work with different projects/challenges. In my free time, I love hiking, dancing, reading and writing.
