My name is Shannon, and I am an artist, student, and pet and child caregiver! I am passionate about helping others and shining a positive light wherever I go. I love caring for children and pets because it affords me the opportunity to serve my community, connect with others, and be a positive influence in the lives of children, pets, and families. I have experience sitting children from infancy into the young teenage years. I am also experienced in sitting dogs, and am quite good with cats, having had several of my own. I am certified in infant and child CPR and first aid, and have experience working with children and pets who have special or unique needs. In addition to being a caregiver, I am a visual artist, an avid reader, a home cook, a nature lover, and an empath. I exercise a high level of care and attention Read more in everything that I do, and I highly value the opportunity for learning and growth that comes with every new experience. I love this line of work because it allows me the freedom to form connections with those families for whom my skills, attitude, and values are most needed and appreciated. I currently have an open availability, and I am flexible and willing to work when needed. If you have any further questions, or would like to discuss your individual needs, please contact me; I would love to hear from you regarding how I can be of service to you and your family!
