Hello, my name is Shantee’. I’m a mom of six and live in Gulf Breeze. Caring for children is both my daily life and my profession. I’ve worked as an after-school counselor for over a year, supporting kids with homework, activities, and positive behavior guidance. I’m active in my church community, where I regularly serve and build strong family connections. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I strive to create a safe, structured, and encouraging environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident in their care choice.
