About Shania

Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile. I'm looking to return to childcare after taking time off to settle into my new life in California. I moved here in July from the DC area for my predoctoral internship and am a doctoral student in Clinical Psychology, graduating in May 2025. I earned my master's in Clinical Psychology in 2022 and specialize in early childhood mental health. I've worked at a child development center (infants, toddlers, and older kids) and provided childcare as a side job through college and grad school. I've cared for 2-year-old twins, infants, neurodivergent children, children with selective mutism, and mostly kids ages 2-7. I even babysat six kids at a wedding! Parents have praised me as attentive, caring, reliable, and fun. Every local family I babysat for became repeat clients. I'm happy to provide references, including one family I worked with biweekly for 1. 5 years. I look forward to hearing from you!
