About Shirley

Experience: 10 yrs

As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of children. With three years of experience caring for children of various ages, I bring a patient, creative, and friendly approach to my role. I believe in fostering a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive, learn, and explore their full potential. I understand the importance of open communication with parents and follow their preferred method to provide regular updates about their child's day and address any concerns promptly. I am also comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a structured and predictable environment for the children in my care. My approach to childcare involves a blend of educational, physical, and creative activities. I enjoy engaging children in outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games that stimulate their minds. My goal is to provide a fun and enriching experience that supports their overall development.

Shirley was with us for nearly 10 years as the primary caregiver to three children, starting when they were infants and ending when they were nearly teenagers. She was trustworthy, always on time, loved our kids, and went above and beyond to help with our dog and during our vacations. Our kids love her and we miss her! She only stopped working for us when we moved to another state.
