A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Shawn; I am 36 years old and a San Diego native. I am fun, loving, responsible, reliable, and a cheerful person with excellent childcare and interpersonal skills. With a natural joy and affinity toward children and a firm belief in a balanced lifestyle, I am excited to fuse my love for little ones with activities and practices that will encourage lifelong habits of health and success.
After years as a licensed Cosmetologist, I realized my natural instinct and decided to base my career on it. I am a mother of two boys, ages 16 and 19. I have 8+ years experience providing childcare. In my previous nanny job, I cared for two girls, aged 2 years and 8 months (at the time of starting), and presently I nanny part time for two children, a 5-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl that I've been with for 2 years.
I am seeking further nanny work after the January. would love to find a permanent family to work with for the long term.

Nanny Hanna
"Hanna had a warm and patient approach to connect with the children of different ages.
She was supportive and encouraging of each student and trying to help them learn, interact, and build confidence.
I believe her skills and conduct will transfer well into a nanny position."

Nanny Sofi
"My kids love Sofi! Sofi is the kindest and sweetest. She helped with my kids while I had to work. I was nervous at first finding someone to trust with my kids but soon realized I had nothing to worry about with Sofi. She stared with our family when my kids were 4, 6 and 9. She formed relationships with each of my kids and took such good care for them. I highly recommend Sofi!!"
