Activity summary
Kind, Caring, Enthusiastic, Emotionally Available, Trustworthy, Reliable
Hi, I’m Shirley! I provide a stable, thoughtful, and reliable presence for busy, high-demand households. While new to nannying, I’ve worked with children in structured educational programs teaching early academics, financial literacy, and providing emotional support. I’m patient, intelligent, and emotionally aware — calm under pressure and adaptable to each child’s needs. Growing up caring for my two younger sisters taught me empathy, patience, and flexibility, which shape my approach to childcare: with warmth, attentiveness, and calm. I tailor my care to each child’s personality, helping them feel safe, seen, and supported. I offer a discreet, respectful presence that blends into your family’s rhythm. I don’t smoke, drink, or use social media on the job, and I take pride in showing up early, staying present, and treating every home and child with care and dignity.
