About Shelbie

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile! I have over 9 years of childcare experience working with children of all ages, from newborns through middle school. My background includes early childhood development coursework and certifications, along with hands on experience in both home and school settings. With infants and toddlers, I'm experienced in baby led weaning, establishing routines, sleep support, and incorporating baby sign language to encourage early communication. I love creating a nurturing, engaging environment through sensory play, Montessori-style activities, music, reading, and age appropriate development. For older children, I'm happy to help with homework, tutoring, and school routines like pick-up/drop-off. I enjoy planning creative activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, and hands-on learning. I'm reliable, patient, and love building strong, trusting relationships with families.
