Niamh Lor Shaffer
Hanover, PA
Activity summary
Here to be as helpful to my community as possible!
Hello! My name is Niamh, however a more easily pronounced and memorable way to say and spell my name is Navi. I have a passion for arts and wildlife! My eventual goal is to study wildlife biology and conservation in University. For now I’m taking a gap year and would love to help out working parents and pet parents! I understand that being a full-time parent comes with a lot of financial responsibilities, so I’m willing to work for lower prices, and would love to help on holidays and give you a break! I also understand that managing household chores is also a difficult task when you’re a parent and would love to also help with those. I have a passion for art and expressing creativity, so if you have an artsy kid I can absolutely help nurture those passions! I’m willing to do tutoring and homework help as well.

I was a member of the BSA and was certified for both CPR and First Aid, I then went to the red cross to receive training and certification for CPR for all ages including newborns. I worked in a daycare as a nonprofit student in high school, and have 6 younger siblings as well as a nephew that I look after. I took an Understanding Youths course in high school. I have a passion for paving the way for the future, and helping to teach younger people compassion and art. I’ve had pets my whole life, including cats, dogs, and ferrets, and most recently I rescued and cared for two baby raccoons before I found a rescue center with openings for them. I have been checked and vaccinated for rabies if that was a potential concern! I’m able to look after puppies, kittens, elder dogs and elder cats, as well as special needs animals as I’ve had them myself. My eventual goal is to study wildlife biology and conservation in University, and I’d love to get more experience working with animals as I take a gap year to save up for university. I currently take care of 3 elders, two of them my maternal grandparents and the other my great aunt, and I have 3 cats, one of them being blind.
