Meet Shannyn

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

My name is Shannyn Jones. I am 49 yrs old. I previously worked in the medical field . I was babysitting part-time, evenings & weekends while working full-time days. I left my daytime office position & decided to do something that I found more rewarding:) My mother provided childcare in our home when I was in elementary school. I started babysitting in the nursery @ church when I was in high school & have babysat on & off since then. I have experience with all ages especially infants and toddlers . I am trained in child and infant CPR and first aid. I have a recent tdap vaccination and up to date on covid and flu. I have 10 nieces & nephews but I do not have any children of my own. I was married in April of 2012.  That March I left my office job & started working as a nanny part-time. Since that time I have Read more had the fortune of helping many families. Some on a regular basis & some for nights out, picking up kids from school & taking to activities & SAHM's that need a break or have errands. My husband & I relocated to Pensacola April 2014 from the DC/VA area. I am looking for primarily daytime work but I can do evenings and weekends on occasion and/or date nights & overnights. I even pet/house sit :-) I also work a few days a week at a animal rescue/shelter. If you would like we can get together for a "meet & greet". I can meet you & the children & find out about any needs you may have & the children will have a chance to get to know me before being left alone. I know that can often be challenging for the young ones. Thank you for your interest. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I have many others references and reviews that are recent. I have not been as active on sitter city since before covid.

Miss Shannyn has become a valuable member of our care family. Our VERY energetic 5 year old absolutely loves her time with Miss Shannyn. She respects our rules and boundaries and is a perfect authority figure for our strong-willed minion. We never have to worry when Miss Shannyn is in charge. We are blessed to have found her!

Shannyn was fantastic! It was my first time leaving my baby with a sitter and she made the process so comfortable and easy. I would definitely recommend her!

Shannyn is a great babysitter. She has watched our 18 month old regularly and is absolutely wonderful! She sings and plays with our daughter, she is very reliable and timely. She is also great with dogs as we have one that can be a handful at times. I highly recommend Shannyn for your childcare needs!

Shannyn was so amazing with my 5 month old! She watched him while my husband and I left for our anniversary for about 8 hours. She did so so good with my son and kept him happy. Shannyn is an amazing babysitter, easy to talk to, and down to earth! My son absolutely loves her spunky hair and tie dye shirts!!! We can’t wait to have her come back and I would recommend her to all of my friends

I don't want to write a good review, because I don't want her to get snatched up! ;) But, Shannyn is GREAT! She is super professional, caring, and understanding. She met up with us for a "playdate", and my son loved her. She handled our 3 year old(son) and 4 month old(daughter) very well. We handed off our screaming daughter when we went to leave, and Shannyn didn't even bat an eye...went right back to playing with my son and soothing the baby simultaneously. We like her a lot and will continue using her whenever the opportunity arises!

Shannyn was warm and open with me during our initial meeting and my son had a great time with her both times that she sat for us. Would definitely recommend!

Shannyn was a wonderful sitter to my 18-month-old son for a short-notice over-night sitter job. She is a super nice, warm, and caring lady whose love for children really shows. She is incredibly knowledgeable of the various developmental stages that children go through and is very hands on with helping the child develop in an age-appropriate way. She completed many fun activities with my son and stayed in touch with me via cell phone while my son was in her care. I was very impressed and I highly recommend Shannyn as a sitter and will continue to use her for future jobs

Shannyn is wonderful! She recently watched my two children, ages 4 and 20 months. My youngest child, who is typically very clingy to me, went right to Shannyn and even cried when she left. My children absolutely loved her!!! Cannot wait to have her over again!

The kids loved her! I really enjoyed her as well. I trusted her 100% with the kids and she didn't disappoint. She was on time and well prepared. She brought her bag of crafts and bubbles and the kids were over the moon about that. I can't wait for her to babysit again. Highly recommend her! Thanks so much Shannyn!

Shannyn is an excellent caregiver who we have used on a couple of occasions when she is available. Great with the kids and communicates very well. Book in advance as she fills up fast.

Shannyn did a great job with out 3 year old son. She was on time and professional, but also a lot of fun for our child. She willingly came to meet us ahead of time so my son would be comfortable with her. We were very happy with her care and intend to use her as a sitter again.

Shannyn was great! Very friendly and fun. My four year old really liked her and didn't want her to leave, and wants to know when she's coming back. :) Thanks, Shannyn!

Shannyn was excellent with both of our boys. I was nervous leaving them with someone Id never met but she quickly put me at ease. We have recently moved away from the DC area and I wish Shannyn could have come with us! Highly recommend her!!

Shannyn was a wonderful sitter to my six-month-old son for a short-notice sitter job. She is a super nice, warm, and caring lady whose love for children really shows. Shannyn is flexible with time - I was running late coming home since my appointment I had fell behind schedule through no fault of my own. I felt so bad since she had another sitter job to go to afterward. Fortunately, Shannyn didn't make me feel bad about it - she was completely understanding. I recommend Shannyn as a sitter and will continue to use her for future jobs.

Shannyn watched my 6-year old daughter for 3 full days. Despite it being a lot of time together so soon, the two really hit it off. Shannyn knows how to fill the day with fun things for a child. She was highly dependable and flexible, and she is overall a nice and caring person. My daughter was sad to say good-bye at the end of the third day, but the good-bye is temporary as we plan to have Shannyn stay with her again very soon.

Shannon did a great job with our two girls who are 1 and 2. Had them both asleep when we got home..which is sometimes challenging. This was there first time with a sitter and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. I will definitely use her again.
