Shannon enjoys working with children of all different ages as a Seattle Live Out Nanny!

“I am an honest, hardworking, loving, caring, and compassionate person. I love working with children. I have worked in a day care setting on and off for 13 years and I have also nannied part-time for a family while I attended college. If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to be in the nanny profession over any other it would have to be because I have tried other jobs and being a nanny and working with children is the only job that truly brings joy to my life. Children are unpredictable and witty, and they surprise you at least once a day! I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over 13 years and can honestly say I LOVE what I do! I feel the children are the eyes and ears of the world. They are full of curiosity as well as knowledge. They have a perspective that adults are unaware of. My goals as a Seattle Live OUT Nanny is to nurture, teach, and gain the trust of the children. Help them succeed as best as I can. I am willing to do housekeeping these requests include laundry, dishes, vacuuming, and light dusting. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am passionate, positive, energetic, imaginative, and loyal. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include different types of learning activities (depending on their ages), outside play, games etc. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a nanny like me I would hope they would be down to earth, understanding, and trusting. I would want them to be very kind and inviting. I would hope to become part of the family. Communication is key. I would want them to communicate with me on a daily basis. I would want them to be interested in what we have been doing all day, as well as inform me about what they would like to see. I am also great with animals and enjoy being around them. I have house sat while the family I nannied for was away and took care of their animals while they were gone.”

“Let me assure you that Shannon would be a great asset to your organization. In the two years that she was employed by me, she truly became a part of our family. She has cared for our children, but was our primary Seattle Live OUT Nanny for our daughter, on a daily basis. Shannon was a major part of our daughter’s positive learning and development as she even came on vacation with us to care for our children. Shannon has many strengths that I can speak to, and the greatest is her flexibility. She could give our daughter her undivided attention and make sure her needs were being met, while still getting the household chores done. Some of her household responsibilities included, cleaning on a bi-weekly basis, laundry, preparing meals, and tiding up on a daily basis. She would always devote her full attention to our daughter and fulfill her individual needs. In addition, my husband and I trusted Shannon to the fullest and consider her extremely reliable. We felt comfortable enough for her to take our children on outings, including driving them in her vehicle. Shannon’s reliability was evident when she would always show up prompt and ready. I can speak highly of her from both a personal and professional level. She has been such a major part of our lives that we invite her to come and visit often. I am confident that Shannon is more than ready for any responsibilities and challenges that she may face. She conducts herself professionally, is respectful, and is able to connect with children of all ages. She is irreplaceable! Her warmth, attentive care, and inviting personality will be sure to endear her to you.”

“I have known Shannon for twenty years. I have had the privilege to work beside Shannon in a daycare setting, in which she was the assistant to the daycare owner. She was responsible for a number of duties as the assistant and went above and beyond to fulfill these duties. I believe she is an excellent candidate for a Seattle Live OUT Nanny position. Shannon is organized, efficient, extremely competent, and has an excellent rapport with people of all ages. In addition, she is great with children. She is very knowledgeable about the development and activities to promote growth in children. Shannon is very trustworthy and has proven this to me as she cares for my own child often. She is always on time, attentive, and warm to my child.”

“I have known Shannon for many years and can vouch for her ability to care for children of all ages as a Seattle Live OUT Nanny. I have witnessed her in many different situations and settings. Shannon would add value to any family’s needs. I can confirm that her character is of great integrity, she is extremely dedicated to her family and work, and is entirely caring and affectionate. Shannon has practiced these traits while caring for my own son. Speaking as a single parent, Shannon has been very supportive and helpful in ensuring that the needs of my son are met. She is always willing to help with daily needs such as driving my son to and from his extracurricular activities. Shannon has also assisted in preparing meals, cleaning my home, and other weighing tasks.”

“I have first had the pleasure of working alongside Shannon at a daycare. During this time Shannon was very eager to learn the curriculum and become a team player to her fellow employees. She became a wonderful asset to the classroom and quickly formed a great rapport with the children and the parents. Shannon then came to another daycare where I have had the privilege to be her Supervisor. As the Assistant Director, I have had to complete observations and assessments on Shannon’s work and abilities and I can honestly say that she is a very genuine and hard working Seattle Live OUT Nanny. Her work ethic is very strong, and her communication skills are excellent. She has proven to be responsible, dedicated, caring, and nurturing when teaching in her classroom. Although teaching young children can be challenging, Shannon has showed creativity and flexibility in her teaching methods and most importantly implements fun into learning. Shannon is excellent at recognizing each child’s individual needs and meeting them to the best of her ability. She gives 110% of herself into her work as a teacher and caregiver. Shannon is also willing to go above and beyond her duties for the sake of others which I believe speaks volumes in this field of work.”

“Shannon worked for my group family daycare for seven years. She quickly moved up in her position at the daycare to become my assistant. Shannon is patient, reliable, and affectionate. She is also well versed in child development, both due to her extensive childcare experiences and a natural empathy toward children. She relates to children in such a delightful way, turning practically everything into fun, while making it a learning experience at the same time. She knows how to structure time well, but is also flexible. Shannon is comfortable helping children and fulfills their unique needs by meeting each specific child where they are in their development. Shannon is coordinated, and organized educational fun filled field trips monthly for the children at the daycare. Field trips were not as regular and planned in such an organized way prior to her employment at the daycare. This was an important aspect for the children and their learning. I feel fortunate to have had Shannon employed at my daycare. I am convinced that the children’s positive development was due to her presence. Her approach to caring for children as a Seattle Live OUT Nanny complements the success of my daycare. Shannon always respected the philosophies of the parents, while being confident enough to independently make day-to-day decisions regarding their well-being.”
