Hi! I'm Meggie and I am so happy you're taking the time to check out my page. My background with children is vast and varied. My mother owned a Montessori preschool so I grew up surrounded by children and have loved it since day one. From the time I was able to, I received my safety certification and went out into the babysitting world. I adore spending time with the kids, both teaching and learning from them. I'm active and imagination-oriented, I love listening and encouraging. I try to find new, creative things to do with them every time I come, from baking to arts and crafts. The greatest joy in my life has been watching kids I sit grow up and become wonderful people! I am an educated caregiver with experience from infancy to preteen. I adore the relationship-building and interaction with children of all ages, having stayed in Read more touch with nearly every family I've worked for, continuing to be a part of their lives even if I'm no longer the primary caregiver. I revel in interactive, engaging play and creating a fun, supportive environment for my kids to feel happy and cared for. Even as a working professional I have continued to make babysitting part of my life, as the joy I get from caring for and interacting with children goes far beyond a 9-5 job. I consider babysitting and nannying a valuable enhancement to my career in healthcare nonprofit, allowing me to see my commitment to community and care in action. I welcome the opportunity to develop a new relationship with a new family here in the Chicago-land area and be a resource for parents and their kids alike!

Meggie was great with our two boys. She managed the dinner and bedtime routines easily and still had time to completely clean our kitchen! We will definitely book Meggie again!

Meggie was great. She managed to engage and entertain my very active 3 year old while pitching in to help out however she could. My son seemed to really like her and enjoyed playing with her. I was also impressed with how she just started helping me clean up the kitchen, wash the dishes, and pick up the kids' toys-- no questions asked! I'd definitely have her back again.
