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.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 7 families in New River, AZ

About me: I am a mom and have been babysitting since I was twelve years old. I am highly creative and organized and I enjoy arts and crafts, board games, playing dress up, tea parties, building lego sets, slime, riding bikes, baking, bedtime stories, etc….. I think it is important to provide children with a fun, safe, active, and enriched environment. I am enthusiastic, fun, patient, and responsible and I provide child care for a lot of date nights, families that are here on vacation, weddings, and single parents that just need some regular time for themselves. I can also provide overnight or weekend care once I get to know your children, if you need time away. I look forward to meeting you and your children soon!

We loved having April over to watch our son and we look forward to having her back again.
