About Shawn

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have enjoyed many years caring for children, including 25+ years of experience raising my three children as a full-time mom, homemaker and family manager. I home-schooled my kids for 10+ years before they attended public schools. They all graduated with honors. My children are individuals with "2E" autism, ADHD and other neuro-atypicalities. I am very familiar with special needs issues. I work with a wide variety of families and children. I am a: college graduate, vegan, good cook, non-smoker, vaccinated for Covid, Flu, chickenpox, shingles & Tdap. I love animals. I can help with light housekeeping and tidying, as well as all-things childcare related. I have experience with BLW, Montessori, and a variety of home-school methodologies & programs. Caring for and helping kids, parents and families by providing high quality childcare and assisting in the management, maintenance and care of house, home and family are my passion, calling and what I do best.

Shawn joined our family last year. She is kind, reliable, trustworthy, and has a genuine love for children. Her patience, warmth and natural ability to connect and care for our daughter was incredible. We were so lucky to have found such an amazing nanny and person like Shawn.
