Experience: 8 yrs
Hello! My name is Shannon, and I have 8 years of experience watching children. I grew up in a big family and have been around children and babies my whole life. I love working with kids and letting them use their imaginations creatively. I have experience with infants to early teens. I am almost fluent in American Sign Langauge, with 2 years of community college classes under my belt. I love knitting/crocheting, reading, and drawing. I am looking for a full-time job with a good family for either one or two kids. I am flexible with scheduling and am available for date nights here and there. In addition, I have experience and am comfortable with pets, and willing to walk dogs if needed. I offer minimal help with cleaning/cooking, homework, and transportation, but I am always willing to negotiate depending on your specific needs.
Shannon joined our family when our twin girls were just six months old. After interviewing several candidates, she immediately stood out, and we knew she was the right fit. During her trial week, the girls quickly bonded with her, and the transition was seamless. Shannon is patient, loving, and full of energy. She not only nurtures and cares for children but also takes time to teach, engage, and truly understand their needs. She is attentive, proactive, and always thoughtful in her approach. Over time, she has become an extension of our family—we’ve even traveled together, including a trip to my hometown in South Africa, where she was adored by everyone. I wholeheartedly recommend Shannon for any childcare opportunity. She is a rare gem, and I’d be more than happy to speak further about her exceptional ability to care for little ones.
