Hello all, my name is Donnetta Shanklin, but I go by Netta. I have been babysitting for over 10 and a half years. I have paid experience with toddlers all the way through teens. I also have experience with special needs based people. During past babysitting opportunities, I was to prepare meals, clean, do homework and entertain. I am currently a senior Western Illinois University. I graduate in May with a Bachelors in Law Enforcement and minor in Psychology and Nutrition. I want to eventually be school social worker or teacher . I am home for good finishing up my degree online so I when a maximum amount of availability. I am CPR and First Aid Certified and I currently have my First Responder’s License. I have my own vehicle, I do not smoke. I have a hypoallergenic dog and a fish. A little about me is I love singing Read more and dancing, basically anything that has to do with theatre. I also enjoy hockey and basketball. I am a psychology minor so I like thinking outside the box. I also really enjoy bike rides. My favorite food is salad and pizza, and my favorite drink is blue Powerade and smart water. One random fact about me is I want to go to Iceland, it is on my bucket list. I’ve been working at my local park district as a site supervisor. Roughly I was in charge of about 70-80 kids at a time. My favorite position I have references upon request. I hope to hear from you soon! -Donnetta Shanklin
