Hello my name is Shea. I am currently working full time as an occupational therapist (7-3:30; M-F). I worked at a child care center called The Cuddle Zone Learning Center located in Allentown for a little over 4 years where I was an assistant teacher for the school age program for 2 years and lead teacher for the infant room for 2 years. In Pittsburgh, where I attended undergrad, I worked at another child care center called the Children's Center of Pittsburgh. At this center I worked with children aged from 3 months to 2 years. I also supervised children at a local church in Pittsburgh while their parents attended the service. I have my clearances, FBI fingerprints, CPR, first aid, and completed trainings in mandated reporting, supervision, etc.

Shea is wonderful to work with. Our kids (6, 3, and 1) light up when she walks through the door. She plays, cooks, and listens. I highly recommend her as a sitter.

Shea is amazing! She watched our 2 year old daughter and 5 year old son for us part time for several months. She was always on time, created fun activities for the kids, prepared their meals, and kept our house clean. She is caring, thoughtful, and has a lot of patience. After the first day she watched our kids, my daughter said “Shea was her best person”. We have pretty high standards when it comes to caring for our children, and I would say Shea has been the best Nanny we have had. I would highly recommend Shea to care for your children.

Shea has been caring for our children for most of the school year and our kids love her. She's punctual, responsible, incredibly patient, and her gentle and calm demeanor is especially helpful with our young daughter. She's great with returning emails, texts and calls promptly when it comes to scheduling. Our daughter, who is 2 1/2, is especially fond of her. She's able to be both very active with the kids as well as creative, whether it was running around or drawing and doing crafts with the kids. My husband and I highly recommend her as a sitter.
