Hello, I'm Shaunte 🍓I am 21 years old, soon to be 22 this upcoming January! Recently moved back to the 757 area after being away in Iowa state for college, whew! I have cared for children all of my life from the day I understood how to make a bottle my first start tending to the needs of my two younger siblings, being a middle child. I have never had paid experience up until I turned 19 years old and moved to Iowa state where I babysat for a friend of mine who had given birth not long ago in between finding work. Newborns and children up to the ages of 8 are the age range of experience I have; From the dirty messes of burping and changing diapers to the stress-inducing tasks of homework help and prepping meals, I have done it all haha! To keep the children engaged, Read more I first follow the set rules made by the parent(s) whether that be no technology or no messy fun (paint, arts and crafts, etc). I am personally an artsy person by nature, dabbling in sketch work, painting, poetry and with a profound understand of literature, I look forward to slaying dragons in the day and reading bedtime stories at downtime, sometimes made up by my imagination to tailor to the child's likes and loves. Also, cleaning is a total de-stressor for me. If comfortable, I offer cleaning with products instructed for use by the parent(s) and laundry. I am at your disposable and flexible with my help. I have experience in pet care, only dogs and cats, as I was raised with a parent who fostered a many different breeds of dogs (Chihuahuas, Golden Retrievers, Labs, Pit Bulls, etc.) in my childhood and I have two fur babies of my own, Asher and Ella, who are American Curl/Siamese mixes, and my lovely boyfriend has five cats of his own shared between his lovely family that I tend to daily, so I am open to cleaning litter, scrubbing down the boxes as well as dog cages/crates, typical cleanup assisted by walking and feeding as fur parents see fit; simple grooming like brushing included. I am purposeful when it comes to following a time schedule and completing tasks before the end of day so the next sitting experience is ready for a fresh start!
