Hello my name is Shea. I am currently working full time as an occupational therapist (7-3:30; M-F). I worked at a child care center called The Cuddle Zone Learning Center located in Allentown for a little over 4 years where I was an assistant teacher for the school age program for 2 years and lead teacher for the infant room for 2 years. In Pittsburgh, where I attended undergrad, I worked at another child care center called the Children's Center of Pittsburgh. At this center I worked with children aged from 3 months to 2 years. I also supervised children at a local church in Pittsburgh while their parents attended the service. I have my clearances, FBI fingerprints, CPR, first aid, and completed trainings in mandated reporting, supervision, etc.

Patricia G.

Hi there! My name is Pat. I am a very energetic, artistic, creative and loving mother, grand-mother and babysitter. My career has been as an artist in many capacities, however, I so very much enjoy being around children, so I looked forward to babysitting, since my children and grandkids live far and I miss them! I would love to be able to help you out! I feel confident in my abilities after all these years, of handling any emergencies, or issues in a mature, calm, and decisive way. I am a very honest and caring person. Children bring me so very much joy and I love helping them! I thoroughly enjoy reading to them, playing games, crafts, exercising, and of course, any kind of artwork! Please feel free to ask me anything at all. It would be an honor to be able to care for and spend very meaningful time with ur child/children! One thing I am not comfortable doing is sitting children in front of the TV for long periods of time… (unless it is something you need them to watch.) During the time they are away from there parent(s) I feel a deep responsibility to keep them engaged, happy and thriving. I truly hope to meet with you soon. But if it is not meant to be, ‘Good Luck’ in your search! I remember how stressful it was at times to find a sitter… have a great day!!! Pat ☀️😊🤗 Ps… I would also be fine with helping out with cooking, laundry, and any small jobs you might need done.
