Hello new friends and families! My name is Miss Shastina, I am excited bring to you a play based child care in Redmond OR. I am 28 years old, I have worked the last few years as a Certified Medical Assistant and I am lucky enough to make a career change to care for your little ones! I have past experience with the Boys and Girls clubs, Child care centers and as a private nanny. I am excited to have this opportunity to open my own child care here in Redmond. I come from a large family with lots of children, so caring for littles started for me at a young age. My passion is caring for people, and there is not a more rewarding experience then working with children. So that fact that I can combine the two is a dream come true. I am bonus mom to one beautiful girl and soon to be mom of a little boy. We also have 3 fur babies Diesel, Binelli and Miss Reba. In my free time I enjoy spending quality time with my family, outdoor adventures, and I am a huge sports fanatic (Go Chiefs)! My heart belongs to the summer and the fall seasons, However the Holidays are my favorite time of year (Christmas is my jam)! I love listening to music, always enjoy a good movie, am the most competitive in the family when it comes to family game night, love playing in the snow and ready to cuddle up with a warm blanket and a cup of cocoa afterwards!
