A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Shelley! I’m a mom of three amazing adult children and soon-to-be grandma to grandbaby #6, so caring for kids has always been a huge part of my life. I also have 12 years of foster-care experience, which taught me patience, structure, and how to make each child feel seen and supported. I love creating a fun, safe, and cozy environment where kids can learn, laugh, and just be themselves.

More About Me

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

I bring 12 years of experience from foster care, where I supported children of all ages, including those with emotional or behavioral needs. I’ve also raised three children of my own and regularly care for my grandchildren. I’m confident with routines, supervision, activity planning, and providing a calm, structured space.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing crafts, reading books, coloring, puzzles, and sensory play, as well as spending time outside and going for walks. I like activities that help kids learn, feel calm, stay engaged, and have fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is making sure children feel safe, loved, and cared for, while giving parents the peace of mind that their little ones are in good hands.

My experience with special needs children...

I have limited direct experience with special needs children, but I’m patient, calm, and very willing to learn. I’m comfortable following routines, guidance, and support plans to ensure each child feels safe and cared for.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments caring for children has been when a child who was shy at first begins to feel comfortable enough to laugh, play, and show me what they’ve learned or created. Those little moments of trust and excitement are what I love most.
