Hi! I’m a dedicated caregiver with 15+ years of varied professional and personal nannying/babysitting experience. Growing up as the oldest of seven children in a military family, caring for kids has been second nature to me my entire life. I combine my lifelong love for caregiving with some specialized professional experience to provide a safe, nurturing, and highly engaging environment for your children. What I bring to your family: developmental support, creative enrichment, newborn to teen expertise. I have also retaken CPR/AED classes recently.

Hi! My name is Shelby and i’ve been working with kids since I was about 10 years old. I’ve worked summer camps, i’ve coached in leagues, i’ve worked at daycares as well as babysat/nannied for numerous families! Being a former collegiate athlete helps me stay active and finding ways to have fun in any kind of situation as well as just providing love and care to anyone that i’m around. I love helping people out and making a difference in all that I do and knowing that it also helps me be the person I am! I look forward to making connections and helping out families while I provide their children the utmost love and care that they require and just making memories with them!
