I have been working with kids for 10 years, can provide quality references and have extensive experience with all ages and stages including infants, NICU graduates, g-tube feeding, ASD, siblings, and more! I believe all children are capable of thriving, given the right environment. I believe all behaviors are a form of communication and that once children learn appropriate communication, behavior follows suit. I am well versed in childhood development and believe all children are on their own journey. I love creating relationships with all members of the families I care for and ensuring there is open honest and reliable communication at all times. I love to build forts, make crafts, spend time outside, read, engage in community events, etc! If it's something the family is passionate about, I'll be there with bells on! I am first aid/CPR certified, have extensive allergy knowledge and experience, can speak basic ASL, and a passion for car seat safety!

I would give Shannon a million stars if I could. She exceeded our expectations in every way. She provides our kids with so much more than just childcare. Every day she arrives right on time and always brings educational and age appropriate surprises for my son and daughter. They start to squeal when they see her come in. She keeps them on the schedule but they always do a mix of free play, arts and crafts, movement and outdoor time. She is teaching them to play collaboratively, teaching them boundaries and emotional regulation. When they go out on adventures she always has their waters and snacks packed and sunscreen applied. She always knows how to resolve a conflict. She also drives our son to school and takes such a big interest in his growth. We just love her. Any family would be lucky to have her working with their kids.
