Dr. Shuttleworth runs the Shuttleworth Daycare Academy, which the Loud parents have been wanting their children to go to for years.
In "Potty Mouth", she visits the Loud House to test Lily as a potential candidate for the academy. Though she’s fooled by Lisa who disguised herself as Lily, she ultimately deems Lily to be a perfect fit for her school. She also figures out that Lily saying, "dannit" is actually her wanting a donut and offers one.
In "Schooled!", Dr. Shuttleworth welcomes Lily to Royal Woods Preschool, but ultimately sends Lily back home when Lily seemingly turns out to be not potty-trained. During the following week, she also encounters Leni, who has accidentally entered the preschool by mistake and is mistaken for a volunteer.
In "Diss the Cook", she was among guests invited by Rita on her late graduation party.
In "Appetite for Destruction", Dr. Shuttleworth oversees toddlers finger painting and clay carving in her class. However, she finds herself having to deal with Lily and various toddlers causing mischief and mayhem across the preschool.

Trivia[]
The genuinely kind and caring Dr. Shuttleworth is a great departure from Mindy Sterling's usual roles. In most, if not all, of her other roles, she usually plays antagonistic, or at least, strict and unpleasant, characters. Examples of such characters are Ms. Endive from the Cartoon Network series Chowder, Lin Beifong from the fellow Nickelodeon series The Legend of Korra, Frau Farbissina from the Austin Powers film series, and Elder Anabelle from the Netflix adaptation series A Series of Unfortunate Events (TV series).
According to Lisa, Dr. Shuttleworth has a slight astigmatism, just by examining her glasses.
It is implied Dr. Shuttleworth attended Royal Woods High School in her youth as she appeared at Rita's pretend graduation party. This also implies she graduated the same year as Rita.
