Strives To Bring Joy And Good Memorable Experiences.

Responds within a few hours

I have experience spending time with children of young age (Pre-K and elementary grades) through church and volunteering activities. I enjoy teaching and sharing any information I have learned and absorbed in my last 20+ years of life. I can speak Japanese moderately, and can read and write basics (i. e. hiragana, katakana, some kanji). My best subjects growing up was math and music. I have had experience spending time with disabled people, as well as having friends who are mildly disabled. I enjoy making people laugh and have a good time, as well as occasional disciplining if necessary, in the hopes that whatever I do will be beneficial for them in the long run. I value relationships of all kinds and believe quality time and communication as the main components to fulfill them.

Patient And Positive Tutor Ready To Support Your Kids During This Time

Responds within minutes

Through my college career at UCLA and University of Hawaii, Manoa, I was constantly helping my peers and collaborating in study groups! I ended up earning a Bachelor in Arts in Human Geography, and a Bachelor in Science in Human Nutrition. My passion for helping kids in school has been a constant, and paralleled by my passion in coaching volleyball. I coach adolescents in club volleyball and currently hold a coaching position for USC Beach Volleyball as well. I would love to work with kids of any age, especially as they go through a potentially tough transition to online schooling. I have (almost) endless energy, an undying love for self development and education, and years of experience working with kids as they learn about themselves and what they need to be successful.

I minored in Elementary Education in college. I was employed as a teaching assistant for many years in the LB school district (specifically the 3rd/4th grade) I worked in small reading groups with children who had learning fifficulties or were ESL). More recently, for the last 10+ years I have been involved in a reading program reading to Carson Elementary (3rd/4th grade) reading to two classes for a half hour each. Part of the process is working on their comprehension (cause and effect, etc..) and getting them engaged and excited about reading.

Experienced P/T, Live Out Nanny Of 7 Years, Searching For A Family That Needs My Help!

I am a very energetic 46 yr old professional nanny, and a mom of two children. I love to play sports and am a natural athlete. I encourage outside activities, but also enjoy playing board games, reading, arts and crafts, and even creating new imaginative games. I believe that positive behavior comes from positive reinforcement. While I am a lot of fun, I also believe in teaching children to be kind, respectful of others/themselves, self-esteem, and accountability. I believe that children learn from example, and every interaction I have with a child can be a learning experience. I encourage children to take responsibility for their own "clean up time", but am always happy to help them along with it. I do love to give lots of hugs and kisses (unless your child is like mine and needs lots of personal space). I thoroughly enjoy what I do, and appreciate each child's individual personalities! I always find ways to relate and connect with each unique child!

Reviewed by Maria M. Sep 2020 5/5 stars

I have known and worked with Shannon for many years. Shannon is honest, caring, warm, and loving. She is an amazing caregiver. Shannon is very creative and engaging with children of all ages. I was able to see how warm and loving she is while working with her. She's always happy and you feel the warmth and calm when you are around her. Children sense it too and are very relaxed around Shannon. She is very responsible and always on time. I highly recommend Shannon.
