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.
