About me

Hi! I'm Shanna and I am from Huntington Beach, California! Growing up in a beach city, I found my childhood was the perfect mixture of getting to explore my feminine girly side and also my sporty tomboy side. I feel my experience growing up really helped shape me into a well-rounded person who gets along really well with all people from all walks of life. In 7th grade, I decided to audition for an arts high school in Santa Ana called Orange County School of the Arts and went from 8th-12th grade to study musical theater and pursue my dreams of being a performer and theater educator. I had an interesting experience in high school because I was in such a competitive industry, but I still found love to be at the forefront of both my work and social life and find to this day that is my motto. Love always! I have a younger brother who is 3 years younger and as a child did musical theater with me, but now I couldn't get him to sing if I tried! I always enjoyed nature and outside activity, so it made perfect sense I ended up in green Florida for college. This May 2023 I graduated from Florida State University and received my Bachelors of Music in Music Theater. I have taken my performance studies and applied them to every other job I have worked, bringing music and dance and open creativity to every child I have ever worked with. I have been a babysitter for over 8 years and worked for over 20 families. I have been a PT, FT, Occasional, Live-in, date night sitter, and nanny as well as worked with children in my other jobs. I have worked with kids of all ages, but primarily babysit children ages 1-8. I have worked individually and in large groups, with children with special needs, medical needs, and newborns. I have experience, cooking, cleaning, swimming/teaching to swim, tutoring, and am currently working to obtain my CPR and teaching certifications in New York. I speak Beg./Int. Spanish and have done mission-work in Spanish speaking areas. Children are the foundation of the future, and so many families can have their lives benefited greatly by just having another person on their team who cares about the success, kindness, and love given to their children.
