Find experienced child care providers in Applegate, CA

Hi there, I’m Shelley and I live in Grass Valley. I have been a nanny for over 30 years and I have a degree in psychology I am available for date nights, weekends and my schedule now is pretty open.

Professionally I am employed as a Board Certified Autism Technician and looking to supplement my income with sitting. Prior to my employment at a local Autism center, I was employed as a Nanny for a special needs child for 6 years (2yr old- 8 yrs old) Before this, I was a full time nanny for two years to an 18 month old. I have professional training and skills in behavior and crisis management, and have worked with children who have mild to severe developmental disabilities. My work experience with young children (toddler - 12 years) includes daily care and basic needs, diaper changing, meal prep, and creative/fun activities. Initially, I focus on building rapport and basic needs, and once I've gotten to know a child and their family, I focus on activities that are fun, creative, unique, and are engaging for us to do together. Professionally I manage behavior challenges from the mild to the extreme.

I truly love being a babysitter because caring for children has always come naturally to me and brings me a lot of joy. I genuinely enjoy their inquisitive fun and imaginative minds and I love being someone they feel safe, comfortable, and happy around. I have been babysitting and nannying on and off since I was about 15 years old, and over years that experience has grown into a career that centered around caregiving. I have over 10 years of experience also working as a CNA and caregiver, including extensive hands-on experience, supporting individuals with special needs, including autism. This background has helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs. Families often describe me as a caring, trustworthy, and intuitive - someone who treats their children with care and respect.

With 8 years of paid hands-on experience caring for children of various ages—from infants to pre-teens—I bring a warm, dependable, and organized presence to every home I support. My goal is always to provide a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment that encourages children to thrive emotionally, socially, and developmentally. In previous roles, I’ve been responsible for daily routines including school drop-offs and pickups, meal prep, homework help, creative play, and bedtime routines. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and have experience managing allergies and administering medications. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, organizing play areas, and keeping family schedules running smoothly. Parents often describe me as reliable, patient, and proactive. I believe in open communication and building strong partnerships with families to support their parenting values and household needs. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and learn more about your family’s needs. Thank you for considering me —I look forward to speaking with you soon. Warm Regards, Quinn Craythorn
