Hello! My name is Shyama - I'm a part-time nanny, SMU graduate, and theatre professional with a love for kids and family. I have two years of consistent nannying experience, teaching experience in several capacities, and many more years of babysitting experience! I have mostly worked with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, although I have worked with elementary schoolers, middle schoolers, and high schoolers as a theatre teacher during summer camps. I especially love caring for young children because they grow and change so quickly. I am have been with my current family for a year and have gotten to see a three month old baby grow into a toddler! It is such a gift to be able to be part of her life so early and to see how she's grown since then! Prior to nannying, I have had experience working with children in many different settings! As a teenager, Read more I took the Red Cross babysitting course as soon as I was eligible because I couldn't wait to help out my neighbors with their kids. I was a regular babysitter for my neighbors' toddler during middle school and high school. Later in high school, I volunteered as a theatre teacher for Plano ISD's PEP Summer School program where I worked with elementary-aged children in an educational setting. This sparked a real interest for me in using my own creative work in theatre as a medium to help children communicate, express themselves, and work together as a team. In college, I worked at Plano ISD's Starpower camp for middle schoolers where I served both as a guest director for a small group of students and as the acting teacher for the entire program. The joys and challenges of working with older children were very compelling to me - I especially loved seeing the ways that older children needed a creative outlet as their classwork and home lives became more stressful. My primary takeaway from this was that children of all ages crave connection and expression and that my skillset is particularly well-suited to helping them do this. I use these skills now as I teach an acting class for high school seniors at Booker T. Washington High School alongside my nannying. If you think I might be a good fit for your family, please reach out!! I would love to speak with you more.
