Hello! My name is Shelbie. I am 27 years old and the oldest of 5 in my family. I graduated from Cornerstone University in 2018 with a bachelor's degree in social work with child welfare certification. I began providing part time childcare at the age of 14 and have also held several positions as a full time nanny. My experience is with children ranging in age from premature infant to 13 years. I am a very organized and am comfortable helping to provide structure to your child's daily routine. I have experience with advanced meal preparation, dinner preparation for the family, tidying, organization, nap and sleep routines, summer school programming, providing multi-child care and care to children with behavioral and emotional needs. I am a very laid back individual and am able to adapt to your child's specific needs. I love spending time outside when the weather permits, but also Read more enjoy guiding children through arts, crafts and other indoor activities on days when its not so sunny out. Additional information: I am very familiar with dietary needs, such as gluten-free, dairy free, vegetarian and vegan, and am comfortable with preparation of pretty much any meal. I am an excellent communicator and have no problem communicating as much or as little throughout your work day as is preferred. I am Covid vaccinated and very Covid conscious, meaning I still mask in public and only spend time around other vaccinated individuals. Please feel free to reach out if you think I could be a good fit for your family!
