Hello! My name is Shaina Stokes. I am a diligent, professional Career Nanny. My passion is working in a home with children and their parents, to facilitate in the creation of flow & unity! I believe that the 'Home Atmosphere' and the 'Connections amongst those Collective Members' are the Key, Core-Elements of well-adjusted humans. Equally as important, follow the simple principles of: Consistency, Stability, & Finding and Maintaining Balance. 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 made of dimensionally, unique parts & characteristics that shift overtime, as development evolves. I am 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 Read more operations, the work, AND the love that goes into creating a Happy-Home! Selecting a nanny who meets your ideal qualities & characteristics, capable of the role-requirements, is uniformly important as the selection in choosing a work-family that matches your personal strengths, style, and values to join. This is an intricately, unique work-relationship of great significance, to all involved.

We recently hired Shaina to be our full time Nanny beginning end of April. In the meantime she's been working for us occasionally and she is fantastic. She's great with our son and goes above and beyond with duties while taking care of him. It has been a pleasure working with her so far and I highly recommend her if you need a babysitter for occasional work.
