About Shirley

Experience: 2 yrs

I genuinely enjoy working with children and creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where they can learn, grow, and have fun. I have two years of experience caring for school-age children, including supporting a child with autism through patience, consistency, and understanding. I also have experience as a caregiver for seniors, which strengthened my compassion, responsibility, and ability to adapt to each person's needs. I hold a college degree with Early Child Development coursework, along with nursing coursework that supports my knowledge of child safety and emergency response. I am CPR certified with first aid training. I'm happy to help with meal prep, light housekeeping, carpooling, games, crafts, and educational activities while maintaining open communication with parents.

It is with the absolute highest regard and complete confidence that I write this letter of recommendation for Shirley. As a single father on active duty in the military, managing a demanding career while raising children—including a son with autism—requires a child care provider of exceptional caliber. Shirley has been that foundational pillar for our family. I can say without understatement that I would not have been successful in my military career without her steadfast presence, capability, and devotion. Throughout her employment, Shirley managed a comprehensive range of responsibilities with seamless professionalism. She handled school pickups, transported my children safely to their various practices and activities, prepared balanced meals, and engaged them in creative crafts and games. Beyond daily care, she actively supported my children with their school projects, showing great patience and an innate ability to connect with them on an educational level. What truly sets Shirley apart is her profound reliability and specialized care. Navigating the unique needs of a child on the autism spectrum requires immense empathy, consistency, and patience. Shirley mastered this seamlessly, earning my son’s deep affection and my absolute trust. Furthermore, given the unpredictable and high-stakes nature of military service, unexpected crises and sudden schedule changes frequently arose in my life. Shirley never wavered; she consistently covered these gaps, adapted effortlessly, and always showed up when we needed her most. Shirley is not just a professional child care provider; she is an individual of elite character who treats the children in her care with genuine love and respect. My children adore her, and leaving them in her hands was a choice I could always make with complete peace of mind.I give Shirley my utmost, unreserved praise and would trust her with my children again in a heartbeat. She will be an irreplaceable asset to any family fortunate enough to hire her. Please feel free to contact me via phone or email if you require any further confirmation of her stellar qualifications.
