*I am no longer able to commit to long or short term babysitting. *I am available for occasional babysitting and arranged babysitting day by day. Hello families, I have worked with children from infants to 16 years of age for over 15 years. I currently work with children with delays and special needs in Early Intervention and other agencies for the past 10 years. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Traveling, walking, hiking, reading, swimming, and being outdoors with family and friends are what I really enjoy doing in my free time. *Allergic to cats

She is very professional and reliable. Shay is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to child needs, especially kids with special needs. She is very patient and we could only hope to have someone like her as full time!
