A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Shelby, I am 24 years old and am just finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have completed 16 weeks of student teaching this spring. I operated a new childcare center in Iowa as the director while also finishing my degree. I have worked in daycare since I was 19, I began as an assistant lead teacher in a Montessori based childcare center and worked myself up to becoming the lead. I moved to Northwest Iowa when I got married to my wonderful husband in 2024. I am CPR and First Aid certified, awaiting my diploma and Iowa teaching licensure, I am also medication administration certified in the state of Iowa as well. I would love for the opportunity to connect with your family and help provide high quality care for your precious children.

Recommendation letters are available upon request.

More About Me

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

I am awaiting my diploma for my Bachelor's Degree of science in Early childhood education. I student taught for 8 weeks in a special education preschool classroom, as well as 8 weeks in a gen ed kindergarten. I have worked with all ages in a daycare center over the course of 5 years. I am trained in Montessori and Conscious Discipline methods.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love keeping children engaged in a variety of skills that help aid in learning and exploration. I adore arts and crafts that help the children be able to explore their creativity and work on their fine motor and writing skills.

I also love to help support the child's natural curiosity by introducing them to a wide variety of fun life skills activities. These include baking, cleaning, as well as helping fold and tie things.

Helping create a fun and safe environment to help support your child's learning, exploration, and curiosity is something that I adore.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Making sure the kids have fun, laugh, express their feelings, feel supported, most of all let them be themselves expressing their imagination.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience with working with IEPs, 504 plans and ELL students. I have worked with medically complex needs such as seizures, cerebral palsy and CVI. I have worked with children diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, DMDD, Autism, as well as Down Syndrome.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment when nannying occurs when I am able to help with their bedtime routine. I love the quiet and sweet moments that incorporate singing, reading and snuggles.
