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.
