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.

I've always loved working with kids and have experience caring for children from infants to 12 years old. I started by volunteering at my church daycare for two years, where I learned how rewarding it is to help little ones grow and learn. Since then, I've worked with a set of twins (3 months old), a 4-year-old, and a 6-year-old, and I also spent two years at the YMCA as a swim instructor and camp counselor. In September 2025, I joined Oliver's Nannies and have since worked with two wonderful families-one with kids ages 8 and 10, and another with a sweet 15-month-old. I'm First Aid, CPR, and AED certified, and I have all my clearances, including child abuse history, sex offender, and FBI background checks. I'm 18 years old, have my driver's license, and a reliable car, and I truly enjoy building positive, fun, and safe relationships with every child I care for. If you're interested I can always bring all my printed out clearances and certificates to show you if you would like to hire me/do an in-person interview.

Hi! I’m a warm, attentive, and dependable nanny with extensive experience caring for children from birth to age 8. I bring a calm, nurturing approach shaped by 16 years as a teacher and 7 years as a mom and foster parent, along with hands-on experience supporting infants and toddlers through their early developmental stages. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I believe childhood should be filled with curiosity, creativity, and joy, balanced with structure, consistency, and gentle guidance. I enjoy creating engaging, age-appropriate activities, supporting daily routines, and helping little ones navigate big feelings in a safe and loving environment. I value open communication with families and take pride in being reliable, patient, and someone parents can truly trust.
