We can’t say enough good things about Shawna! She was so patient and attentive with our toddler from the very beginning. As first time parents she showed us so much support by remaining flexible with our busy work schedules and understanding of our parenting style! Thank you Shawna!

Shawna Nannied for our little boy for just about a year from 6 months old- a year and a half. She was amazing with him and our family. Shawna communicates very well. Shawna would always let us know anytime she would be out of town weeks in advance and was so willing to be flexible with our work schedules. We loved how willing Shawna was to venture outside with our kiddo to do activities. Along with that, Shawna really helped foster development with our son including activities with art, water, museum visits, and socializing with the community. I cannot recommend Shawna enough.

We had Shawna watch our kids for about 4 years. Our 3 kids ages ranged from 3 months old to 7 years old during that time. Hiring Shawna was one of the best decisions we made in regards to our children. She was instrumental in their development, health, safety and fun. Shawna lets kids be kids, she was always taking them outside to playgrounds, the zoo, museums and other wonderful experiences. Their childhood was so much more enjoyable because of her. Her experience shined through in every aspect of child care. As a parent, I even learned a lot just from listening her talk to our kids, handling conflict between brother and sisters, and understanding the complicated nature of childhood emotions. Shawna will always be in our kids lives, as they love her like a family member. I highly recommend Shawna for any family that wants their kids to be kids, and experience life safely while having fun.
