Hello, My name is Shirley and I'm currently looking for occasional or part time short term family to work with in zip code 22192 (5 mile radius). Prefer to come work in your home. I require bookings of a minimum of 4 hours. I don't use public transportation and use my personal vehicle. Clean background and driving record. Fully vaccinated including COVID-19 booster shot. Currently looking to work with kids between age 2 and 5. I have a 3 year old assistant son who will come with me to your home. Toddlers can benefit with socialization during this time. Working with kids has taught me that building a connection is very important. It allows both your kid/s to enjoy time together as if we were family in the comfort of your home. I will treat your child/ren as if they were my own. Engaging kids to learn through play and Read more storytime. I encourage kids to explore and think outside the box as long as they are safe, respectful to themselves and others. A little about myself: I was born in Ecuador. I'm fluent in Spanish. Came to the United States when I was 11 years old and lived in New Jersey for 25 years. I put myself through school and earned an Associates Degree while working full time and being a mom. I was lucky to have my parents support to help with my now 16 year old son. I, also have a surgical technician certificate. I worked in retail setting for twelve years in security. Transfered to Virginia where after a few years, I decided to make the switch to working with children (because come on kids are fun to work with). I enjoy spending time with family & my beautiful dogs every chance I get. I love the outdoors and am an active person. Fluent in Spanish. If interested please don't hesitate in sending me a message, I'm willing to answer your questions.

Ms. Shirley would be an asset to any family. She is punctual and extremely organized. You will always know what is going on with your child or children because she is an excellent communicator. She worked as a nanny for our two children for a year and a half and we were sad to see her go as we had grown to see her as a part of the family. If you get a chance to have her take care of your children, jump on it.

Our family adores Ms. Shirley! She started as our nanny 2.5 years ago when our oldest son was 6 months old. He is now almost 3 and we have another boy (7 months). She has been the best nanny we could hope for to care for our boys. She is kind, patient, responsible, reliable, stern when necessary, energetic, thoughtful, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable about young children. She makes sure our kids get outdoor playtime daily, she reads to them, cooks for our oldest, and engages them with play and activities. In pre-COVID times she would take our oldest to the library for storytime, to music class, and on other fun outings. She has patiently helped with potty training. She is very observant and quick to point out if anything seems off with one of the boys. She has never been late or called in sick. She is taking COVID precautions very seriously. Our temperamental dog even loves her too. Hire her - you will be glad you did!
