Lilly Shawhan
Hello! My name is Lilly. I’ve been working in childcare since 2016 and have had the joy of working with infants through school-age children. Over the years, I’ve also held leadership roles in management and served as a center director, which has given me a well-rounded understanding of early education.
I hold a CDA in Infants and Toddlers and have completed college credits toward my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. My favorite part of working with children is watching them grow and learn—seeing their curiosity and confidence bloom is what inspires me every day!
My favorite children’s book is The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and my favorite holiday is Halloween. One of my favorite family traditions is making meals and baking together during the holidays.
I have two cats named Nox and Raven. In my free time, I love spending time with family and friends, reading, and enjoying the outdoors.
