Shannon R.

Hello! My name is Shannon and I am a junior at Fordham University, where I study Music with a Classical Voice concentration. I am currently living at and working for the campus located in the Bronx. I work as a Residential Life Assistant, where I oversee the living conditions on campus and attend to any resident requests (imagine mixing a landlord’s responsibilities with a hall monitor!) The Residential Life department is on hiatus for the summer, and during that time I am pursuing other work opportunities. I’d be thrilled if that includes doing something I care about and enjoy doing— like childcare!

All through high school I enjoyed babysitting my neighbors’ children (from the ages of 2 and 3 on); through family/friend referrals, I started taking care of children more in the middle school range. My total experience of childcare spans 5 years. For most families, my responsibilities include cooking dinner, supervising homework, and all preparations to put the children to bed. Most parents ask me to transport their children to and from their summer and after-school activities, which I am happy to do. I have a valid state driver’s license, but unfortunately, no vehicle. However, I do have access to NYC MTA and Metro North transportation.

Because I have experience in musical instruction, I am also happy to offer supplementary voice lessons, in addition to the childcare. Please let me know if you are interested in these, and we can arrange to start lessons (as well or instead of childcare responsibilities!)
