Hello, my name is Shayla Selon. I am a 21-year-old college student attending the university of Georgia studying to become a speech-language pathologist, or an audiologist. In both children and adults I am CPR, first aid, and AED certified. I am a fun, playful, lovable young adult, who loves interacting with kids and has been told she has a great connection of children. My experience comes from shadowing and helping my grandma babysit my sister and cousins over the summer since I was 12 to 18. During my sophomore and junior of high school, I was in an early education class where there was a daycare with 2 to 4 years old I would interact with them three days a week. We would do different activities with them For example, we would go on the go outside on the playground, make art projects, helped them with their ABCs and counting. Read more Since joining the site, parents have trusted me to watch their Two and four year old siblings. Occasionally, I also watch sisters that are five and 10 years old. Most recently I’ve been trusted take care of a six month old for the day and the allowed me to bring her to my apartment since the grandmother was at work, and the mother was traveling. I love the way their minds work. They are so smart and so intelligent at such a young age is very interesting. I will care and look after your children as if they are my own. I will actively report if anything happens and would love to be known of any allergies or any fears that they may have that prevent them from having good time under my care. I would love to get to know your children have fun we can build Legos or we can crochet anything you wanna do I’m down. I hope you have a beautiful day and hope that you contact me soon.

Shayla helped us with our 1.5 and 4.5 year old boys for a full week while we were on vacation. Shayla was fantastic. We would not have enjoyed the vacation nearly as much without her. She engaged with the boys (as opposed to just "watching" them) and played with them in the water and the playground during the day, and was able to take my younger one back to the room and get him down for his naps. In the evenings, I felt comfortable leaving them in her care so my husband and I could have dinner together in the evening. I highly recommend her!

Shayla was fantastic with our kids (age 3 & 5). She knew how to engage each of them, and even brought Legos and art projects for them to work on. Highly recommend!
