I have been babysitting for 10 years, and have worked at various day cares, camps and tutoring centers. I've cared for babies as young as 3 months, so I'm super comfortable changing diapers and all the other messy stuff. I've also cared for adolescent kids who really just needed someone to spend time with/ supervise them. I am interested in early childhood education, and I'm hoping to go grad school to pursue a degree in that field in the future, as I would ultimately love to be a teacher. I'm very comfortable in the kitchen, and I'm happy to cook meals for the whole family. Working with kids is my passion - they always teach me something new, make me laugh, and provide me with the best stories.

Shawn has been caring for my two boys a few days a week for about a month now, and we couldn't be happier! She is communicative, punctual, loving, easygoing and kind. I feel like we found Mary Poppins! I can't recommend her enough.
