About Shakuntala
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! I have been a nanny for 30+ years. I have an ECE education, first aid and CPR also certified in children's nutrition. I have three dogs. We just adopted the third one from a shelter. I enjoy horseback riding and going for walks. I raised two children of my own and I've been married for almost 30 years. My greatest joy is caring for children and to see each milestone they take. I owned an in-home preschool for 5 years that brought me great joy in teaching. I also cared for two families on Cannon Air Force Base. Safety for your child and open communication with parents is number one for me. Always willing to help out with light house keeping cooking / meal preparation and supervising activities. I look forward to meeting your family, and your children. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!

We were so grateful to have Shaku as our nanny for a year. She always came with educational activities for the girls. She maintains strict safety standards. I never had to worry about my girls safety. She made sure my girls were loved and nurtured. They still talk about her!
