About Shannon

Experience: 10 yrs

With over 20 years as a Science and Health teacher, I'm passionate about working with children and creating engaging learning experiences. I focused on hands-on, inquiry-based education and even built a working urban farm in Los Altos with chickens, goats, hydroponics, and a garden to connect students with science. I've recently transitioned from full-time teaching to focus on tutoring, child care, and pet sitting. With a Master of Arts in Teaching Biology, I provide enriching academic support for kids of all ages. I also teach boxing and fitness to children, helping them build confidence and strength in a fun, supportive environment. I'd love to connect with families looking for a dedicated, caring, and highly experienced 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.
