Hi there! My name is Shana. I'm 30 years old and have been working with kids ages 0-18 for more than 15 years in youth camps, after school programs, youth sports, nannying/babysitting, tutoring, and TA'ing in an elementary school. I am CPR, AED and first aid certified for youth and adults. I am mental health first aid certified for youth and adults. I am vaccinated for COVID-19. I have my own vehicle which is a very safe SUV - safe and fit for children and car seats. I love playing outside, singing songs, and playing board games, pretend games, and creative/puzzle games too. My favorite superhero is Batman, I love Disney, and I love to tell stories! I have worked on college campuses in recreational sports for ten years, so I love to be active. I believe in healthy fun activities for children, playing outside and enjoying the simple everyday Read more things. I am body positive and identity-first with everyone I work with. I am excellent at making healthy and delicious food children love, including vegetarian and vegan options. My educational philosophy is that it is important to learn at least one new thing every day, no matter how big or small that one thing may be.
