About Shannon

Experience: 10 yrs

Dear Hiring Parent, I am fueled by great ambition towards working as a reliable hand to you. I have worked as an Overnight Newborn Care Specialist for families within the DMV within being a childcare provider for 14years. I also have a Bachelors degree in Psychology, including 12 credits of child development. I am Infant- Adult CPR/ First Aid certified. I have a SIDS prevention certificate, ensuring safe-sleep. My educational theory is play-based. I enjoy getting on the floor with children to play , building a bond with them, singing, stroller walks, reading books to them, and talking to them to build vocabulary. I have introduced solid foods / new foods as well as helped families with sleep training. I believe children thrive off of routines so I maintain the babies natural daily schedule, while being open to change. Hire me as your families childcare provider and you'll have reliable help and support. Can't wait to chat soon!

Initially, meeting with Shannon made us very excited about the possibility of working together. She was professional, thoughtful, and came prepared with a clear plan and goals for our baby. She asked insightful, relevant questions that showed both her experience and genuine care. From the start, she was incredibly sweet and tender with our baby, which immediately put us at ease. On her first night with us, Shannon was attentive and nurturing—comforting our son through singing, rocking, and holding him. She also did a great job communicating her methods and explaining the reasoning behind them, which made me feel extremely comfortable and confident in her care. However, when our scheduling needs changed, things became more challenging. While Shannon was initially agreeable to the adjustments, she ultimately decided at the last minute to cancel our contract. This left our family in a very difficult position without childcare. To her credit, she made an effort to be available and kept the lines of communication open. Overall, Shannon is clearly caring, knowledgeable, and dedicated to the families she works with. If not for the scheduling challenges, we would have absolutely continued working with her.
