I’m a passionate and experienced childcare provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I’ve spent a large part of my career with the YMCA in before- and after-school programs, where I supported children’s development through structured activities, homework help, and positive behavior guidance. I also have daycare experience working closely with infants and toddlers, focusing on routines, early learning, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. In addition to my center-based experience, I’ve worked as a nanny for multiple families, where I provided personalized care, helped manage daily schedules, and transported children to and from activities. I’ve also stepped into leadership roles, including serving as a substitute director, which strengthened my ability to manage responsibilities, communicate effectively with families, and lead with confidence. I’m CPR/First Aid trained and vaccinated. I bring a warm, energetic, and attentive approach to every Read more family I work with. I truly enjoy building strong connections with children and supporting their growth in a fun, safe, and engaging way.

Shakera was wonderfully engaging with our toddler — patient, attentive, and clearly passionate about early childhood. Our little one made real progress with new words during her stay, which we credit entirely to the rich, stimulating interaction Shakera provided throughout each day.
