Greetings! I'm Shana, and my approach to caring for children is rooted in advocacy, consent, and demonstrating healthy coping skills to promote resilience and growth. I place a strong emphasis on fostering positive connections and healthy relationships, both within the family and with the wider world. Nature, exploration, and mindfulness play significant roles in my life, and I cherish opportunities for creative expression through various activities like reading, playing board games, and outdoor adventures. I also enjoy visits to museums and igniting joy through singing and dancing. Regardless of the challenges, I firmly believe in uncovering moments of hope and happiness each day. Relevant Experience: With 4+ years of experience as a nanny for various families and age ranges, I've honed my skills in creating safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually. Along with that, I have undergraduate experience as a peer mentor, tutor, and advocate Read more for all children. I currently volunteer at a local non profit supporting foster children and their families.
