A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Shawna, and I have over 20 years of childcare experience, including owning and operating my own in-home childcare program for more than five years. I am passionate about creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel valued. I specialize in understanding each child’s unique personality, needs, interests, and emotions, allowing me to provide individualized care that helps them thrive. My experience working for Disney taught me the importance of creating magical moments, and I bring that same enthusiasm and creativity into my work every day. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, music, cooking, and planning fun activities. I also love spending time outdoors, whether it’s taking walks in the park, visiting playgrounds, or exploring new places. Families describe me as dependable, patient, nurturing, and energetic, and I would be honored to provide exceptional care and become a trusted part of your family’s support system.

More About Me

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me a nanny is like a second mom, or an aunt. They nourish and care for children as if they were their own.
A nanny is also a teacher, who helps infants and toddlers learn before going to school.
They are a chef in learning a child’s favorite food or snack.
They are friend or someone a child can feel safe to talk to when speaking to a parent might seem a little scary.
They are also nurses and doctors who care for little and big boo boos.

My experience with special needs children...

I have an autistic nephew who is nonverbal.
I have experience doing speech therapy with him, but not with any other child that was in my care.

Rachel K. - Seeking Work in New York

Babysitter Available in New York, NY: Rachel K.

Hi, My name is Rachel, and I’m a 22-year-old NYC resident originally from Westchester, New York. I’ve been living in the city for a little over a year and currently work in fashion at LoveShackFancy. I graduated from Tulane University with a major in Communications and a minor in Business.

I have always loved being around children and have been babysitting for years. Throughout college, I regularly cared for one family with three children, where I helped with everything from babysitting and cooking to running errands, helping with the family dog, and keeping the kids entertained and on their routines.

Depending on the kids and their ages, I’m always happy to take them to a movie, grab ice cream, go to the park, do arts and crafts, play games, help with homework, or have a little dance party to get some energy out. I’m also very comfortable helping with dinner, bath and bedtime routines, and keeping things organized around the house.
