Shannon Evans

Hi, Im Shannon! To keep it simple, I thrive when interacting with kids and animals. I am a lover of learning, music, movies, the outdoors, and art. I love conversing with kids and hearing their wild and hilarious perspectives on life. I used to be a camp counselor for kids ranging in ages from 4-12 which also led to a lot of private babysitting and I quite literally have never loved a job more. I love all animals and nothing scares me. I can take care of a dog or cat as much as I can take care of a pet snake or a pet rat (both of which I have) Messes don't scare me either, in fact, I love a good cleaning challenge. I am an excellent homework helper and have always excelled in English and Language Arts. Arts and crafts is another specialty of mine and I have endless activities to share! I am currently a Leasing Specialist, however, I am looking to change career fields to child-care. I feel it's more rewarding and I would much rather interact with kids all day than disgruntled adults (:

I'm an experienced nanny passionate about childcare. For two years, I had the privilege of being an au pair and caring for four children, which provided me with a solid foundation in childcare for children of different ages. As a 28-year-old Colombian, I speak Spanish and fluent English, enabling me to communicate effectively with children and their families. Additionally, I have driving skills and am committed to providing a safe, stimulating, and loving environment for the little ones under my care.
