This is a criminal background check required for all caregivers before they can message families.
Experience: 10 yrs
I have enjoyed many years caring for children, including raising my own three children (as a full-time mom, homemaker and family manager). I home-schooled my kids for 10+ years before they attended public schools. My children are neurodivergent. I am experienced with several special needs issues. I work with a wide variety of families & children. I am: background checked, CPR & first aid certified, a college graduate, good cook, non-smoker, vaccinated for Covid, Flu, chickenpox, shingles & Tdap. I love animals. I am a very tidy person, and can help with light housekeeping & 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 & assisting in the management, maintenance and care of house, home & family are my passion, calling and what I do best.
Having Shawn join our family for the last 6 months has been an absolute pleasure! She has looked after our wildly active toddler full time, and has not only looked after his safety and well-being, but has done wonders for his development. She keeps him occupied and learning with her own creative methods and our son absolutely adores her. Most importantly, our minds were at ease knowing he was in safe hands. She’s trustworthy, patient, creative, kind, yet firm with boundaries. She is the best!
