Find experienced nannies in Strasburg, CO

I am Shawna Johnsbury, and I would like to work in your home, with your children and you. I have worked as a nanny and in a pre-school for my entire adult life. I know how important the first exposure to learning can be for both a child and the parents. Not only for that childs academic career, but also their whole lives can be set upon the foundation of their first learning years. It is because I have helped many children and their families learn to LOVE to learn that I am pursuing this opportunity. With kids, you can expect me to: Encourage, cherish, work to meet individual needs. Facilitate & Encourage risk taking. Discuss, predict and review choices. Allow natural consequences, including “failure,” to teach (where in line with the family’s philosophy)For example, “You might feel cold if you get wet.” If the kid chooses to get wet, I will let that happen and help them maneuver the chills, all the while believing that giving them room to choose (and go through the consequences) teaches them to make better choices. Also, a kid might not experience cold the way I do; perhaps it really does feel good to them even if I am chilled! Use exploration and experimentation wherever possible. Facilitate conflict resolution. Give time/space for all parties to feel and articulate his/her experience (thoughts, feelings, concerns). Plan for future conflicts, to avoid or manage differently. Ask a million questions! LISTEN for the kids’ answer. At times, try to answer them together! ~Why?~ Why not?~ Where?~Who?~ How?~ What if…..?~ Who else? ~ What other ways? Turn a question back to a kid….”Miss Shawna, why don’t we go to the park today?” “Well, kidd-o, why do you think we aren’t?” Again, listen to what they are thinking! For the families I work with, you can expect me to; Adhere to the family rules and contracts. Support parents with; punctuality, reliability, consistency. I will share observations, concerns, ideas. If requested, I will write observations/daily logs, attend community events, take classes, read books, assist with light meal prep, shopping, some home maintenance. I will put the needs of the kids first, while holding value that kids can and do contribute to a household. I believe they can be happily incorporated into many of the tasks that are to be accomplished. I will hold their physical & emotional safety in highest regard. Seeking 20-30 hours, 2-3 days

Hi! My name is Shylin, and I’ve always had a heart for caring for children. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids to grow and express themselves. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing simple meals, keeping routines consistent, or planning activities that keep them engaged, I put a lot of love and attention into everything I do. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

I've been working with children all my life. I have my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, and I'm always looking for new and exciting activities to try! I love art and music, getting messy, and I love to foster and support a child's natural curiosity!
