Experience: 10 yrs
Children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and genuinely enjoyed-and that is the care I provide. I bring a calm, dependable presence into each home while balancing routines with play, creativity, and learning. With more than 11 years in early childhood education and a background in psychology, I understand that every child has a unique personality, communication style, and set of needs. I take time to build trust and connect through conversation, music, books, imaginative play, outdoor activities, and hands-on projects. I am also patient and supportive during transitions, conflicts, and big emotions. Parents can expect me to be punctual, organized, communicative, and fully engaged. I am comfortable caring for siblings and children of different ages while making sure each child feels included. Whether you need part-time, temporary, or occasional care, I would be honored to provide dependable support and peace of mind.
Ms. Shari has been an absolute blessing for our family. We moved from New England and search for someone trustworthy. She provides consistent, high-quality care for our 7-year-old and 2 year-old, and my kids ask for her by name to watch them. What sets Ms. Shari apart is her deep background in education and child development. I didn’t have the best experiences with drop-in care or other sitters where home routines get disrupted and kids come home needing behavioral redirection, Ms. Shari maintains our family's values and mindfulness. It has been a relief to have someone I can trust with my kids since we moved. My children return home happy, calm, and engaged, with zero 'sitter regression. She is also wonderfully flexible, helping us out with both advance planning and last minute schedule needs. Knowing your children are safe, learning, and under exceptional care. I appreciate her services more than words can say and recommend her wholeheartedly to any family.
