About Shakena

21 years old
Hello! I'm Shakena, a 21-year-old exchange student currently in Newcastle for the semester, and I have a passion for working with children. I've been babysitting since I was 15 years old, gaining valuable experience and nurturing my love for childcare over the years. Additionally, during holiday breaks since 2020, I've been actively involved in working with children and I also am a Scout chef taking care of young girls between 12-16 years old. I have a diverse language background since I am fluent in French, Dutch, and English, allowing me to effectively communicate with children from various cultural backgrounds. My multilingual abilities also enable me to create a comfortable and inclusive environment for children under my care. Furthermore, I consider myself to be highly creative, always coming up with fun and engaging activities to keep children entertained and stimulated. Whether it's arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or simply reading a book, I strive to make every babysitting experience enjoyable and enriching for the children I look after. With my experience, language skills, and creativity, I am confident in providing reliable and attentive care for your little ones.
