I’m a dependable, warm, and safety-focused caregiver with babysitting experience on and off since 2015. I’m the second oldest of four siblings, so caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I’m deeply passionate about helping children feel safe, happy, and supported. I hold two PhDs and work full-time for a large PBM company, which has strengthened my professionalism, time management, and communication skills. I maintain a fixed and predictable schedule, so conflicts are very unlikely. I’m comfortable supporting routines such as homework help, meals, bedtime, and light educational engagement. Parents often appreciate that I’m calm, attentive, and proactive. I’m also babysitting with purpose, proceeds from my childcare work help support charitable donations to mental health services for individuals and families in need. Mental health advocacy is very important to me, and I’m grateful to be able to give back in this way. I’m willing to Read more do whatever it takes to keep children safe, healthy, and happy, and I treat every family with respect and care. I look forward to supporting your household and being someone you can truly trust. Have a well maintained car ✅

Sharaya has been working with my family for a few months now. She has been very flexible in our ever changing schedule. Both of my kids really like her which is one of the biggest things for me. She communicates well and keeps me informed of anything she thinks is important while she’s with the kids. I would recommend her as a babysitter!

I never had the chance to work with Sharaya. My issue was the fact that she said she was going to come for a meet to see if we would be a good fit and she completely bailed. We were texting the night before and she agreed to meet at 10am and she never showed up and did not communicate saying she wasn't going to show up. As a single mom with a crazy work schedule I do not appreciate being no-showed with no communication. I had other appointments I could have made and due to her inconsideration I was not able to do so.

She is nice and friendly. Most importantly good with my baby. She communicates often and keep me up to date with what's going on throughout the day.

Sharaya cared for my infant twin boys on a weekly basis for several months. She was able to handle the pressure of juggling them and their needs without any difficulties. She is very responsible, always shows up on time and she was always willing to stay over if I ran late coming home from work. She is very caring, and I could tell the boys were always her priority. It is very difficult to find quality child care and she is one in a million. I would highly recommend Sharaya to anyone and am willing to give a verbal recommendation if requested.
