Hi, I'm Shawna. I'm 55 years old. I love sitting/ teaching children. Even after 21 years, I can't imagine doing anything else. I'm kind and patient and I don't yell or use bad language. I have been married for 35 years. Our sons are 21 and 25. I have been dedicated to them but they are so busy now I hardly get to see them anymore. I thought I would enjoy all the free time after they were gone but I don't and they tell me that I'm not going to get to have grandkids anytime soon so I would love to take care of your children. From August 2021 until May 2022, I had a job picking up a 12 year old girl and her 10 year old brother from school and driving them to extra curricular activities Monday through Friday. but they moved to Nevada. Their mom left Read more a 5 star review for me on the Sittercity website. I also sat for a 4 and 7 year old since they were 3 and 6 but they moved to Colorado. Currently, I work at a church on Sunday mornings sitting for a 1through 3 year olds. I also sit for a 2 year old boy on Monday and Friday mornings and a 2 year old boy some Friday nights and a 3 year old boy every other Sat. night and a 1 yr. old boy on Tues. and Thurs. mornings. The school that I resigned from where I worked from 2012-2021 teaching 2, 3 and 4 year olds required me to be fingerprinted, have multiple background checks, 24 hours of childcare training every year and CPR and First Aid Training every 2 years. I can give you copies of those documents. Before that, I worked at a private school/Mother's Day Out Program for 10 years teaching preschoolers but I have experience with babies through teens as well because I was a nanny during the summers when school was out. I have 2 letters of recommedation but I can get more. I've been teaching/sitting for a total of 21 years for mostly preschoolers and toddlers at private schools and also for many families that went to the same church that I did and also for Sittercity. I have my own 3 year old reliable car, I love pets and I don't mind if there are cameras and guns in your home. I am vaccinated but I can also wear a mask. I've never smoked, drank or done drugs. My number one goal is to keep your children safe while having fun just like I would if they were my own grandkids. I dress modestly and I don't charge a cancellation fee even if it's last minute, things happen. I always show up and I'm ether early or on time. Thank you for your time.

Shawna has been watching my 2.5 yo son for a few months on occasional date nights. She is so caring and sweet with my son and my husband and I fully trust her to watch him. She is always on time and willing to stay late when needed last minute. We highly recommend her services!
