Hello my name is Shannon and I am 24 years old. I have always loved working with kids and have volunteered in classrooms and babysat since I was 16. I have the most experience with ages 2 months - 12 years. I grew up in CA and since moving to AZ four years ago I have regularly babysat for multiple families. I am experienced with watching multiple children at a time and will never be deterred by a teething baby. I am CPR certified and am experienced with cooking for children with allergies. I am always willing to help out with homework, meals, bath time, cleaning, etc. I am flexible and am willing to work with you on what you and your child need! References are available upon request.
“Shannon was very kind and communicative. Will definitely be rebooking her for future needs with our puppies. ”
