Experience: 10 yrs
For over 25 years I have nannied in Denver, and worked (played!) 12 years at a preschool in East Denver. I have worked for Denver Public Schools 7 years in ECE, RJ, SPED. I will be play based and child-directed whenever I can be, while also teaching the importance of making & sticking to a plan when called for. I am interested in going to the zoo, Children's Museum, Aquarium, puppet plays, drum shows, music classes, magic shops or the ballet a kid is interested. Happy following hot air balloons just to see them land if a kid is interested. I believe very strongly in allowing age appropriate risk-taking, and following that up with conversation about what went right &/or wrong, and what could go different next time. Childhood can be filled with glitter, mud, and mess, And that all cleans up :-) I truly honor, cherish, respect childhood and LOVE to share in it! Available for date nights, weekends & overnights. I have a resume/cover letter. 25-40 hours over 3-4 days
Shawna is dynamic and proactive with her approach to childcare. Unlike many caregivers, she actively avoided screen time and consistently planned engaging, hands-on activities. Shawna would often take our 2 boys outside in all weather conditions, from exploring muddy puddles after a rainstorm to building forts in the snow. She fostered a genuine love for the outdoors and imaginative play. She was always seeking out opportunities for our children to learn and grow through direct experience. Shawna is also incredibly dependable and reliable. She was always punctual, often arriving a few minutes early, which gave our family tremendous peace of mind. We could always count on her to follow through on her commitments and handle any situation with a calm, positive, and confident demeanor. This reliability, combined with her "go, go, go" energy, made her an indispensable part of our children's routine. In addition to her enthusiasm for an active lifestyle, Shawna is a highly conscientious and trustworthy caregiver. We entrustrd her with a house key, and we always felt secure knowing our children were in her care. Any family would be fortunate to have Shawna as a caregiver. Her dedication, energy, and commitment to active, screen-free childhood experiences are truly exceptional.
