Shamika loves the Nanny Agency in Mercer Island, WA because she can focus on the well-being of the children in her care!

“I am a motivated and dependable person with several years of experience in the childcare field. I have the ability to set a firm foundation for children that will prepare them for growth and development. I am creative, nurturing, and most of all, patient! I am also equipped with the ability to set a therapeutic environment that will provide children with the motivation to overcome challenges and weaknesses. I am very energetic! I love to smile, so much so that I have been given the nickname Sunshine. I love music, singing and dancing. I am also very affectionate. I love giving hugs! I am inspired to change the lives of children by setting an atmosphere that will challenge their intellect while nurturing them physically, intellectually, and emotionally. It is my goal to combine my range of experience with my ability to be a compassionate, humble, dependable, responsible, gentle, motivated, and an enthusiastic caregiver. Being a nanny will not only grant me the opportunity to teach, mentor and motivate children, but it will provide me with an extremely fulfilling experience. 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 it is where my heart is. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over eight years and can honestly say I LOVE what I do! I am willing to do light housekeeping that includes cooking, vacuuming, dusting, laundry, and running errands. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am loving, caring, honest, respectful and dependable. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include cognitive development, life skills (for example - potty training, eating with a spoon and fork, tying shoes, etc), creative art projects, music and movement motor skills. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking someone like me from the Nanny Agency in Mercer Island WA, I would hope they would be friendly and caring!”

“I have known Shamika for nine years and highly recommend her for any Nanny Agency in Mercer Island WA position! Shamika volunteered in various teaching-related positions including youth choir, Sunday School, and dance team. Her teaching experience included children from 3 years old to 12 years old. Since then, she has taught in the Atlanta area and has also assisted many families with her experience in childcare and development. Shamika has a wonderful rapport with people of all ages, especially children. Her ability to connect with her students and her talent at teaching simple concepts, as well as more advanced topics, are both truly superior! She has excellent written and verbal communication skills, is extremely organized, reliable and computer literate. Shamika can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. She accomplishes these tasks with great initiative and with a very positive attitude! I recommend Shamika to you without reservation!”

“I am writing you today because I had the opportunity of having Shamika as a part of our Youth Development Department and can highly recommend her for a Nanny Agency in Mercer Island WA position. Shamika has the necessary qualities to hold any position that requires the development of young minds and personalities. She possesses patience, poise under pressure, and the necessary leadership skills to develop a learning atmosphere that encourages children to reach their fullest potential in life. Shamika also works well with others whether in a leadership position or a supportive position. Shamika has had a positive impression on our youth and many of them continue to be in touch with her. It is my belief that Shamika will add the qualities that a family is looking for with her abilities and personality.”

“I have known Shamika for over two years as both a colleague and a friend! She is a very special person, and a phenomenal teacher with enthusiasm and love for children! Shamika was my daughter’s teacher in the older two year old classroom, where she was loved, nurtured, and stimulated in the developmentally appropriate classroom that Shamika created. My daughter was very excited about going to school every day, and never wanted to leave! She loved singing and dancing with Shamika! Shamika was full of energy and very excited about teaching the children. She is a woman with talent, virtue, and is a kindred spirit. Please feel confident that hiring Shamika from the Nanny Agency in Mercer Island WA will be a great investment for the future of your child!”

“Shamkia began assisting me in teaching children in her early teens. She was an excellent assistant. A few years later, she began teaching one of the classes in our church. She proves herself to be fully qualified and capable of handling her own classroom. While teaching this class, just to give an example or her ability to teach, she had her preschool students split into teams and play a game. In doing so, this helped the children retain what they learned that day as well as have fun. Having seen her teaching ability first hand, Shamika is a teacher who helps the children learn and feel confident about what they have learned. I believe Shamika would be a great asset to any family and the Nanny Agency in Mercer Island WA .”

“I have known Shamika for her entire life. It was at a very early age that she began discovering, as well as developing, her gifts and abilities in music, art, drama, etc. Through her active involvement in the public schools she attended, as well as our church, she showed great potential even then as a leader, which was outwardly acknowledged in school, and at the church. It was during her high school years that she asked to teach in our Children’s/Youth Ministries program. In doing so, she discovered and acknowledged her desire to teach, and to lead children/youth. It was a blessing each week to witness how much the children grew under her example and leadership. Upon graduation from high school, she went away to college to follow her dream of teaching. Upon returning home from college, she was asked to develop our Children/Youth Education program, in which she designed a program that was second to none. We highly recommend her to any family or Nanny Agency in Mercer Island WA considering her with the assurance that she will be a tremendous asset!”

“I have worked with Shamika for a year and I can honestly say that out of the five years I have been an assistant at the school, she has been the best teacher that I have worked with yet! The children walk in every morning eager to learn because “Ms. Mika” makes learning fun. Learning is not just about ABC’s and writing, it is about having fun learning experiences. She definitely delivers this to her classroom daily. She is always happy and in a good mood no matter what! I have never worked with a teacher as loving, caring, and nurturing as Shamika! She goes above and beyond to care for the children in her class. Shamika is very informative with the parents in our classroom and they love her. They are always talking about how much their children are learning and how grateful they are to have “Ms. Mika” as a teacher! She is a great mother to her child and a great caregiver in the Nanny Agency in Mercer Island WA. She treats every one of these children like they are her own. Shamika is a very positive person and has truly made a difference in my life. I can honestly say that working with Shamika has made me a better person! All in all she has made a positive difference in these children’s lives along with my own.”

“I have known Shamika for over ten years. We first met in high school when she was the manager of our high school track team. Ever since I have known Shamika, she has always loved and taken care of small children! I remember when people from Shamika’s neighborhood and local church always wanted her to babysit their children. It is very easy to see why her services were in such high demand. She was and still is a very wonderful childcare provider. I would describe her as being very attentive, a great listener, patient, welcoming, creative, empathetic and kind! All of these traits give her the ability to connect with children. They absolutely adore her! Not only do I know this by watching her work, I know this from my own personal experience when she starting taking care of my daughter in 2006. Shamika took care of my daughter as if she was her own. What was so amazing about her being my childcare provider is that I felt like she knew my daughter as well as I did. Shamika paid attention to her development as well as her likes and dislikes. This was very important to me because it made me feel safe leaving my daughter with her. I felt like Shamika was not just taking care of my daughter for a paycheck but because she loves to take care of children. Moreover, my daughter felt completely safe and secure with her just as if she was with me. In addition to her gift of caring for children, Shamika is extremely organized, has excellent communication skills, and has a very positive attitude! I would definitely recommend Shamika to be your childcare provider. I have been encouraging Shamika to open her own day care center for years; she’s just that good! With her background experience and strong abilities to connect with children, she would definitely offer everything a family would be looking for as a childcare provider from the Nanny Agency in Mercer Island WA!”

“Shamika is a wonderful, outstanding, and loving teacher! I have had the privilege of working with her very closely for two years. I have always admired her fun and creative ways of teaching. She puts her whole heart into her job and the children, and takes a special interest in her student’s health and safety! Shamika puts a lot of detail into her curriculums, and pays close attention to the social and academic needs of each child. I believe Shamika has a calling to work with children because it is never a job to her. It is her heart’s desire! You can tell by how she talks, cares, loves, and educated her students. She will truly be an asset to any family and Nanny Agency in Mercer Island WA!”
