About Shay

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, I'm Shay! I'm a 36-year-old living in Somerville with my wife and our beloved pets. After being recently laid off from my career, I'm excited to return to working with children and families while I search for my next professional opportunity. I am a proud god parent and Uncle and strive to be role model I didn't get to see as a child.

Shay is a natural with babies and children. They bring the best of both worlds: the responsibility of an adult with the fun energy of someone who is a child at heart. They are great about giving space for shy kids to warm up and then before you know it are deep in play and your little one is having a great time. My 3 year old has asked several times recently for Shay to come back to play. Highly recommend!
