Hi! I’m Shelby, a warm, creative, dependable, and outdoors-loving caregiver who genuinely enjoys working with children. I have several years of experience caring for and working with kids through overnight summer camps, outdoor education, youth programming, and leadership roles. I’ve worked with children of different ages and personalities, and I’m comfortable creating a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment while keeping routines and individual needs in mind.I’m a multidisciplinary artist and nature lover, so I especially enjoy bringing creativity and the outdoors into time with kids. Some of my favorite activities include painting, drawing, crafts, gardening, reading, exploring nature, going on walks, imaginative play, and finding little ways to turn everyday moments into learning opportunities. I love encouraging children to be curious, creative, confident, and comfortable being themselves.My experience in camp and youth programming has taught me how to be patient, adaptable, attentive, and calm when things don’t go exactly as planned. I’m comfortable taking initiative, communicating clearly with parents, managing activities and transitions, and making sure children feel heard and supported. I also understand the importance of following each family’s routines, boundaries, values, and parenting preferences.I’m someone who brings a positive and nurturing energy into the spaces I’m in. I believe kids thrive when they feel safe, respected, encouraged, and free to explore the world around them. Whether we’re making art at the kitchen table, getting our hands dirty in the garden, reading a book, or heading outside for an adventure, I want children to feel like they’re having fun while also being cared for and supported.I know choosing someone to care for your children is a big decision, and trust is incredibly important. My goal is to be someone your family can rely on and feel comfortable welcoming into your home. I’d love the opportunity to work together.

I love working with kids and have spent over nine years caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I enjoy helping children feel safe, happy, and confident while providing a nurturing and supportive environment. I’m patient, friendly, and caring, while also comfortable setting boundaries to provide structure and consistency. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, hold a college degree, and enjoy staying active with kids through outdoor play, sports, games, and creative activities. Along with years of babysitting experience, I worked as an event director at a children’s summer camp for six years, which helped me become creative, adaptable, and confident in handling any situation. I would love to be a dependable, positive presence for your family!
