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.

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])

Madeline R. - Seeking Work in San Diego

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!
