I have 20 years experience providing childcare in my home and/or client's homes. I have provided care for age groups. I worked in a preschool classroom for children with autism for 9 years but accepted a promotion in January 2022. I am now a Transition Specialist/Job Development/Job Coach to Adult's with Intellectual Disabilities. I have also raised three boys who are now 15, 16, and 19. I have been a single mom for 7 years and can relate to families needing extra support. Now that my kids are older, I have much more flexibility in my schedule to offer clients. I love to stay busy an have no problem helping with housework or cooking. I can be available on weekends and any time after 2:30 p.m. Monday - Friday. References available upon request.
Shannon has cared for our 4-year-old for over three months and has been a game-changer. From day one, our daughter adored her and now gets excited when Shannon comes over—no more separation anxiety. Shannon is patient, fun, attentive, and incredibly reliable, with clear communication and punctuality. Her experience truly shows. We feel completely confident leaving our daughter in her care and are so grateful for her support.
