About Shelby

Hello, my name is Shelby, and I am 32 years old. I am a certified elementary school teacher (K-6) with ESOL and Reading endorsements, and I have 15 years of experience in childcare from infancy through early adolescence, including 12 years as a professional nanny. I create a safe, engaging environment while monitoring children's activities and supporting their emotional and social development. I communicate regularly with parents and encourage empathy, positive self-concepts, and strong routines. I assist with meals and help children develop healthy habits such as eating, resting, and toileting. I enjoy reading and leading creative activities like art, crafts, and music, and I provide academic support with homework, projects, and study skills. I can assist with transportation to school, outings, and appointments. I am an animal lover with reliable transportation and open availability Monday through Friday.
