Hello my name is Shida! I moved California in 2014 from New York City, and I am just loving this weather! :) Officially a Cali-girl! I have over a decade of experience in childcare. I started babysitting around age 13, as I was born into a large family and I am the oldest grandchild... I have always been drawn to children since I was young. My mother was a Kindergarten teacher, so I really enjoyed reading stories to her class, and I love reading bedtime stories (every character gets their own voice!). So, you could say that I am a natural born childcare provider! I have been a full-time live in nanny, as well as part time babysitter to over a dozen families in LA. I am a reliable and extremely organized individual. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Communications, and I can assist in anything from cooking, arts and Read more crafts, running errands, to even taking the children to museums ... basically anything to make your life easier! ***I am only available weeknights for date nights, and generally free on the weekends! (I work fulltime during the week in Santa Monica, but I live in Pasadena)*** I look forward to meeting you soon, and becoming and extension of your family!
