Testimonials

Michelle D

We used Shannon for 3 highly energetic little boys for a couple nights on our trip to Lake Tahoe. Shannon was on time, had a contract prepared for me to confirm the details of our needs, payment, etc. and immediately began playing with the boys. When she came back the 2nd night she even brought prizes to play fun games with them. She was able to roll with it when I mistakenly forgot to order dinner for the kids and even offered to drive to go get them food while the adults got ready. Highly recommend Shannon! We will use her next time we are in Tahoe!

Rebeca W

…she has been professional and respectful, but most importantly, she has been kind, patient and very caring toward our daughter, putting our daughter and ourselves at ease…

Melissa G

…Shannon is incredibly reliable, trust worthy and compassionate about kids and the families she works with. She would check in on us during the fires when the smoke was bad or ask about Theo when he had a cold/on her days off. Shannon is the type of nanny that's hard to come by…

Lizzy L

…Shannon was absolutely amazing. My Mom was there almost the entire time and said she was constantly (meaningfully) engaged with the kids…and she was by far the best "away/vacation" sitter we've ever had…

Karl M

Shannon is a wonderful nanny! She is so gifted with kids and brings a positive, calm, and playful energy to her work. She cared for my two sons full time while we were in Tahoe and they enjoyed time with her immensely, going to the pool, playing imaginary games, and drawing. Would highly recommend working with Shannon!

Natalie O.

Shannon is awesome with kids! My 2.5 year old daughter loved her. She is reliable and very child focused. My daughter and her always did fun activities together. I highly recommend her!

Jenni K

Shannon was amazing and we wait to work with her again! Her demeanor was so sweet and gentle and the kids loved her right away. She was a great communicator and so helpful in the hotel room we were staying and even helped prep our dinner. Can't wait to work with her again next year when we visit Tahoe!

Reviewed on 03/13/2025 We just got home from our annual family vacation in Truckee and wish we could have brought Shannon home with us! She exceeded all of my expectations! W, my 2 year old immediately latched on to her and fell in love! She came in with a "Mary Poppins bag" and had endless activities for the kids. She was flexible with us too and we were able to have her stay and keep all 6 kids when we went to dinner one night! We will definitely be using Shannon again next year!

Jen A

Reviewed on 03/07/2025 Shannon immediately jumped in asking the right questions and being helpful with our baby and our family. She is upbeat, responsive and flexible, and sent pics throughout the day. We returned to a happy, well-cared for baby.

Berit J

Reviewed on 02/14/2025 Shannin was awesome! I highly recommend her. She was on time, brought activities and arts and crafts galor, and the girls gave her big hugs as she left. They really had a great time. She was also very accomodating with phone calls and sending a photo of DL etc. She has reliable mountain transpotirtation and is ok with snow conditions. We will def call her again!

Kate S

Reviewed on 02/12/2025 Shannon was great with our very busy toddler, she brought fun activities which he LOVED and made our transition out of the house easy, she also took him outside to play. When we got home the house was clean and tidy, our guy clearly had a great time.

Jack A

Reviewed on 02/10/2025 Shannon brought the charm (and a suitcase of toys) to quickly win over the trust of our rather skeptical 14 month old. My husband and I really enjoyed having time to ski together, like the old days. We would be happy to work with Shannon again the next time we're in Tahoe!

Maritza R

Reviewed on 02/10/2025 Shannon cared for my 2 year old son and my friend's 1 year old son while we were on vacation in truckee. She was was very thoughtful and they both had a great time with her. She brought them toys to play with and even got my son to nap that day! (which had been tough on vacation!) Would definitely hire her again when we're in the area.
