Experience: 10 yrs
Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion. With 20 years of experience, I provide reliable, high-quality care for up to four children, ranging from infants to pre-teens. My background in Early Childhood Education allows me to integrate learning into our daily play, whether we are solving puzzles or engaging in educational games. Because I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide expert supervision during water activities. I am patient, creative, and comfortable enforcing your established household rules to ensure consistency. I prioritize open communication, whether through written daily reports or your preferred method at pickup. I am also comfortable with pets and have a reliable car for transport. I truly look forward to partnering with your family to provide a nurturing environment where your children can thrive and feel right at home.
Shawndea is an incredible person! There aren't enough words to describe her dedication and fondness towards her job. She has literally raised our child, and we have heavily relied on her expertise for guidance to inculcate good habits, manners, patience and affection in him. She became part of our family in a very short period of time, so much so that everyone knows Shawndea even in our extended family! She is very respectful towards the specific needs of the child and family, and makes extra efforts to incorporate each requirement into the routine. She includes balanced outdoor and indoor activities for the child and is actively engaged in their growth and development. She really takes care of the child as her own. We are beyond fortunate to have found her and for her to take us on.
