Shayna H., Babysitter in Smyrna, DE 19977 with 2 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Shayna, and I'm 20 years old. I graduated in 2023 from Appoquinimink High School, earning a diploma in allied health. Currently, I am back in school to obtain my certification as a pediatric medical assistant. From my preteen years to the present, I have always had a passion for working with and being around children. I bring valuable experience in this area; during my time at Meredith Middle School, I worked at a daycare located right across the street. Additionally, in high school, I was employed at the daycare within my school. Presently, I work at a children's shoe store where I enjoy making kids happy, and they seem to love me too! I have experience with children aged toddler, preschool, and grade school, and I truly enjoy babysitting. Being around kids has always brought me joy, which is why I aspire to work in pediatrics in the future. I have patience with children, enjoy forming connections with them, and am comfortable with various personalities. During high school, I focused on nursing and child development, and I also participated in the child daycare program at Appoquinimink High School. Working with young children not only deepened my understanding of developmental milestones but also instilled in me qualities such as patience, empathy, and effective communication skills. These experiences played a crucial role in shaping my career goals and sparked a passion for working in fields dedicated to nurturing growth and well-being. Reflecting on this journey, I am thankful for the chance to be part of such a meaningful program that laid the groundwork for my future in caregiving and education. Feel free to reach out to me if you’d like to set up a call. Thank you so much!
