Hello my name is Shemsa and my journey as a caregiver began long before it became my profession. As the eldest of my siblings, I discovered my passion for nurturing and guiding children from a young age. My innate love for caring led me to step into the role of a caretaker, looking after my siblings and extending a helping hand to neighbors and family members from the tender age of 15. With each passing year, my dedication to childcare blossomed, fueling my desire to pursue it as a lifelong career. Now, with over 15 years of invaluable experience under my belt, I stand proud as a seasoned nanny and certified Birth and Postpartum Doula. I also want to add that Becoming a mother myself has been an invaluable addition to my career as a nanny. The firsthand experience of parenthood has deepened my understanding of the joys, challenges, and Read more intricacies of caring for children in a profound way. As a mother, I approach my role as a nanny with even greater empathy, patience, and intuition, drawing upon my own journey to provide the highest level of care and support to the families I work with. My own children have taught me valuable lessons about resilience, compassion, and the boundless capacity for love, which I carry with me in every interaction with the children under my care. One of the joys of my profession is the opportunity to introduce little ones to the wonders of the great outdoors. Whether it’s a trip to the zoo, a playful romp in the park, or a nature walk filled with exploration, I relish every moment spent connecting with nature alongside the children in my care. As a nanny and doula, I understand the profound impact that nurturing care and support can have on a child’s life, and I am deeply committed to providing nothing short of excellence in every aspect of my role. Thank you for considering me as partner in your child’s journey. I look forward to the opportunity to bring joy, love, and laughter into your home as your trusted nanny and caregiver.

Shemsa is our current nanny (during regular business hours) and we regularly marvel at how lucky we are to have found each other. She has been with us for over two years now and is truly a member of our family. She cares for our children as they are her own and we trust her with every decision. She is loving, light-hearted, observant, nurturing, and incredibly kind. We could not imagine our boys' (and our) lives without her. I give her the highest possible recommendation for you and your family!
