Shanay enjoys being a Long Island Before School Nanny because it is such an emotionally fulfilling position!

"I am a very caring and compassionate person! When I work for a family, I like to feel like I am part of their family. I absolutely love children, and care for them as if they were my own. If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to be in the Nanny profession over any other it would have to be because I truly love children, and I enjoy having such an emotionally fulfilling job! I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over 4 years and can honestly say I am proud of what I do! I feel the children are unique and special! My goal as a nanny is to help raise confident, happy, and healthy children with the parents. Provide comfort and a safe environment for the children to play and learn while the parents are away. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes laundry, dishes, straightening up house, and putting away children’s playthings. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am outgoing, compassionate, loving, fun, and happy! Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would be to include something age appropriate to do every day, in areas of art, music, and playing outside. Whether it is dancing to our favorite songs, or making something with paints or crayons, I encourage children their imaginations! For example, playing dress up or putting on a play, or writing a short story. And of course, reading! If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a Long Island Before School Nanny like me I would hope they would be warm and loving!"

"I have known Shanay in a child care capacity when she was a teacher at my son's daycare. Shanay also cared for our infant son in our home. She is a vibrant, energetic, and responsible caregiver who took an active role in the supervision of our son! She played with him, created new games, read books, played music and participated in art projects. She was a good communicator by always recording the days' activities including diaper changes, feedings, playtime or any other unusual occurrence. Shanay was never hesitant to address any issue or concern, which made it easy for things to run smoothly and minimize the worry of a new mom. When our son was ill, Shanay was very careful to pay close attention to his needs. For example, there was a time when he became progressively worse one morning. Shanay immediately notified my husband and I so that we could make arrangements to see the doctor. In the short amount of time that it took me to get home, Shanay had my son dressed and ready for the doctor with a log sheet explaining his symptoms, temperatures and the time that they occurred. It is my pleasure to recommend Shanay for an in home childcare position! Children in her care will have a positive, energetic experience leaving parents confident and worry-free!"

"Shanay worked in several different classrooms with children ranging from 6 weeks-5 years old, but remained mostly in the infant room working with children from 6 weeks to 12 months old. Her duties included, but were not limited to assisting lead teachers, tending to the general needs of infants and children, creating outdoor and indoor activities, and demonstrating and assisting with arts and crafts. I worked alongside Shanay mainly in the infant room. Although her position was teacher’s assistant, she often took the initiative to organize activities for all of the children while keeping up with the ongoing needs that infants have such as feeding and changing diapers. Through the way Shanay engaged with each child and the amount of time she invested in their individual needs, it was and still is apparent to me that she genuinely cares for each child’s happiness and well-being. Shanay would always go above and beyond her duties as a caregiver. She could always be seen singing to the children and dancing around the room. She would even participate in special events such as pajama day and Halloween by dressing up and bringing in special treats for the children. She was a great asset to The school and I would highly recommend her for any Long Island Before School Nanny position having to do with childcare!"

"Throughout my time working with Shanay I have consistently been impressed with both her work ethic and her clever input on the projects being done in the lab. Shanay's attention to detail and preparation are meticulous and this is reflected in the quality of her work. She shows an exemplary willingness and, more importantly, ability to learn, as is evinced by the ease and speed with which she was able to pick up difficult concepts. Shanay also works well with others, as further demonstrated by her experience in the customer service industry and by her work with children of various ages. I unreservedly endorse Shanay's application for employment."

"Shanay has always been friendly, punctual, and flexible with the hours that we had set. She was always cheerful, energetic, creative and came to the house with positive attitude! 4 years later my son still asks about her! I highly recommend her to any family as a Long Island Before School Nanny!"
