About Shelby

Hello! My name is Shelby. I am currently wrapping up my 5th year of teaching and I am applying to graduate school in pursuit in a a career in counseling. I am the oldest sibling of 4, so I've always identified as a caretaker. Right out of college I had the honor of being the primary caregiver for a 2-week-old. I ended up being his nanny for the first 8 months of his life. It was incredibly special. I taught kindergarten my first year teaching and I've been in 5th grade ever since. I have worked in summer camping for many years with kids of various ages. I was also a summer nanny for kindergartener/first grader. He and I conducted experiments, completed a reading list, and we went on many adventures. I am someone who gets along with everyone and I have a ton of experience working with children. I hope to use my skills in child care and education to support your family.
