About Shirley

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a retired Methodist pastor. Nurturing young minds is more than a job for me; it's a genuine passion. My motivation stems from a deep desire to positively impact children's lives, fueled by 10 years of experience and countless rewarding babysitting experiences. I have some college experience . My calm and patient nature allows me to connect with children aged 4 and up, while my creative side shines through in the board games, puzzles, and educational activities we enjoy together. I prioritize open communication, aligning with your preferred methods to keep you informed about your child's day. I'm also comfortable following your household rules. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a safe, fun, and enriching environment where your child can thrive, and I hope to become a trusted caregiver for your family.
