Outside of work, I enjoy running, hiking, cooking, traveling, reading, and spending time with family, including my nieces and nephews.

Hi - My name is Shelby and I'm currently a senior at Butler University. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included crafts and tutoring. I also have worked as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have a cat of my own and am happy to work with families with dogs and/or cats.
“So incredibly grateful for Shelby. She was amazing with our 7 year old, playing, reading, teaching...all the things! Having her come back next week! Thanks Shelby : )”
My employment background is Executive Assistant and now that I'm retired, my desire is to return to my first love "children". I began babysitting my nieces and nephews at age 12 up to my current grand children. I worked at a daycare center, and volunteered at Girls, Inc and both were rewarding experiences! My childcare tasks includes, meal prep & feeding, baths, parks, YouTube educational videos! board games, story times, drives to/from school or Dr. Appts, soothing fears, applying a bandaid (if needed), animated movies, walks, & hugs!
