About Shannon

Experience: 10 yrs

With over 20 years of experience as a Science and Health teacher, I bring a caring, dependable, and engaging approach to working with children. I hold a Master's in Teaching Biology and have a passion for helping kids learn, grow, and build confidence. My experience includes tutoring, childcare, and teaching boxing and fitness to children. I also created a hands-on urban farm in Los Altos, incorporating chickens, goats, hydroponics, and gardening to make learning meaningful and fun. I'm patient, attentive, and committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel supported and encouraged to explore their interests. Whether your family needs childcare, academic support, or engaging activities, I bring professionalism, warmth, and genuine care to every opportunity. I'd love to connect with a family looking for an experienced and trustworthy provider.

Shannon looked after both our son (4yo) and daughter (18 months). She was wonderful - both of the kids had a great time, and spent the rest of the evening asking when Shannon was going to hang out with them next. I'd thoroughly recommend her for child care.
