A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Shelby, a college student studying Social Work with a minor in Psychology. I absolutely love working with children and have lots of experience working with families as a private nanny.

I love having fun with kids through outdoor activities, crafts, reading, and whatever else we can come up with! I'm very adaptable to parents' preferences and comfortable following established routines. I'm happy to help around the house, provide transportation, support kids with homework, and help with whatever other needs your family may have.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have 9 years of paid childcare experience and have worked as a private nanny for three different families on and off from 2022 to present. I am especially experienced caring for children ages 1–8 and am comfortable managing daily routines, meals, naps, homework, transportation, etc.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love spending time outside with kids—whether we're swimming in the pool, playing at the park, or even just getting our hands dirty! I also love coming up with crafts based on holidays, their interests, or whatever we have available. I like letting children take the lead and following their interests while guiding them through activities that encourage creativity, independence, and the development of their motor and cognitive skills.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe one of the most important parts of being a nanny is being on the same page as the parents. Parents know their children best, and I want to work together with them to create a consistent, supportive environment where each child can feel safe, have fun, and grow!

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with children with various special needs, including children with autism, ADHD, and Down syndrome. I understand that every child has unique needs, strengths, communication styles, and routines. I pay close attention to parents' instructions and preferences and am comfortable learning and following individualized requests.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nannying experiences was spending a summer with a family whose four children were ages 1, 2, 3, and 4. We swam together almost every day, and I loved watching each child grow in confidence and ability in the water throughout the summer. Seeing them become more comfortable, try new things, and get excited about something they had once been nervous about was so rewarding. It was a great reminder of how meaningful it is to be part of a child's growth and development.
