Hi! My name is Colleen and I am an Admissions Director at The Shipley School. Prior to beginning my professional career, I was a nanny for 8 years. I took my first babysitting job at 13 for a family friend with 4 children and have been babysitting for many families for over the last 18 years, adapting to different parenting styles. I love keeping busy with kids; playing outside, running errands, reading, and arts and crafts. I enjoy watching children grow and develop from new born, until sadly, the day parents do not need sitters anymore. I would be happy to help meet the needs of your family in any way that I can.
