About Shiala

I bring a diverse background in education, wellness, and child development. I'm semi-fluent in Japanese and have experience teaching and using the language in various settings, making me a great resource for families interested in language exposure or bilingual support. I'm also passionate about cooking and have a strong foundation in fitness and nutrition, which I love sharing with kids through fun, healthy meals and movement-based activities that support their overall well-being. In addition to my work in mental health, I'm a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and have over two years of experience working with children with special needs. This has equipped me with skills in behavior support, sensory awareness, and individualized care. I understand how to create a safe, inclusive environment where every child can thrive. Whether supporting development, encouraging healthy habits, or nurturing creativity, I bring a well-rounded, heart-centered approach to caregiving and teaching.
