A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Shaylee and I have my Bachelors degree in Human Development & Family Studies. I have worked with children of all ages for 6 years and hope to continue my experience in doing so. I have experience with infants, children with disabilities, young adults, nanny share and much more. I have had childcare experience since a young age - I’ve babysat lots of family and friends and have taken on short and long term positions with childcare.

I enjoy helping out around the house, running errands and doing what I can to engage with all children in a way that will help their development and connection with the world around them.

I am CPR and First-Aid certified and am completely vaccinated. If granted the opportunity to work with your family, I can assure 100% commitment to you and your child’s needs and wants.
It is easier to text me as I tend to send out lots of applications here and there, so here is my number [phone number hidden])
I hope to hear from you soon - thank you!!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m here simply because I truly adore spending my time with children, and watching them grow to the best versions of their selves on a daily basis. I am very energetic, outgoing, jovial, and accepting. I love being active, if weather permits I am always outside! People commonly ask me why I love being around children so much. Children have a way of accepting a person for who they are unconditionally, something that I think we adults let fade away over time. They are honest, non judge mental, and eager to grab life by the horns. Why wouldn’t I want to spend my time with that outlook on life?! I have been very fortunate with the two families I have nannied for over the years. They truly feel like family to me, and it means a lot. I look forward to the next family I have the opportunity to work with!
