Experience: 10 yrs
I am a fully vaccinated mother of 2 adult children and a grandmother of 6. I have owned and operated my own childcare in Atlanta, GA since 1997. I relocated to the Triangle for the newest grandbaby and will be offering in home childcare walking distance from Duke University Hospital, with a cohort of around 4 little ones. In my experience, this is an ideal class size because I am able to provide individual care and it offers each child an enriching opportunity to socialize and develop foundational communication skills. I love story time, music and movement, and being in nature. I have a lot of patience and experience with teaching life skills such as potty training and manners. I want to help create sustainable habits for children to blossom into happy healthy human beings. I have over 1000hrs in state certifications including but not limited to: CPR, SIDs, helping children make healthy eating choices etc. Flexible and extended hours available.
As a first-time mom, I was extremely nervous about sending my son to childcare after maternity leave. The thought alone was overwhelming. From the moment I connected with Ms. Shea, those fears began to melt away. We first FaceTimed so she could walk us through her home and setup, and shortly after, we visited in person with our son so we could get to know each other. From the start, Ms. Shea was warm, intentional, and thoughtful. She asked detailed questions about our son, his routines, and how we care for him at home — making it clear that her goal was to mirror what he’s used to and help him feel safe and comfortable. What truly sets Ms. Shea apart is the level of attention and care she gives. She notices the little things — a runny nose, a slight cough — sometimes even before we do. As parents, that kind of awareness means everything and makes us feel like our child is genuinely being watched over, not just “looked after.” Ms. Shea is also incredibly reliable, timely, and flexible, which is such a gift for working parents and something you don’t often find in a traditional daycare setting. Every morning when I drop my son off, I feel complete peace of mind knowing he will be loved, have fun, and be so well cared for. If you’re a parent — especially a first-time mom — looking for a safe, nurturing, and loving in-home daycare, I truly cannot recommend Ms. Shea enough
