A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Shannan, and I’m passionate about working with children and helping them feel safe, supported, and happy. I love being a sitter because I enjoy building connections with kids, watching them grow, and creating fun, meaningful experiences while also being someone families can trust and rely on.

I have several years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve been babysitting for multiple years and have also worked in daycare settings for nearly three years. Through this, I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including middle schoolers.

I’m currently finishing up my degree in Childhood Education (general and special education), which helps me better understand children’s developmental and individual needs.

I bring patience, creativity, and strong communication skills to every family I work with. I’m experienced in managing routines, supporting homework, planning engaging activities, and creating a positive, structured environment.
