About the Founder
My name is Shaquoya Burns-Richmond, and I have dedicated my life to the art of caregiving. From a young age, I have been immersed in the world of childcare, a passion that has been passed down through my family for three generations. Growing up, I watched my mother and grandmother nurture and educate children, and their dedication inspired me to pursue a similar path.
Throughout my career, I have developed a deep understanding of children's needs and the importance of creating a safe, supportive environment for their growth and development. I believe that every child deserves an opportunity to thrive, and I strive to instill values of kindness, creativity, and curiosity in those I care for. My experience has taught me that caregiving is not just a job—it's a calling, and I am proud to carry on my family's legacy in this rewarding field.
