Meet Margaret

Hi, my name is Margaret but I go by Maggie, and I've been babysitting/pet sitting for over 6 years. I have my undergrad in biology and I have training as an informal educator and tutoring. I currently work at Muddy Paws, but I have worked at the Virginia Zoo, the Virginia Aquarium, as a camp counselor, an educator/ tutor, and I've even worked on a 100 ton river boat. As your child's babysitter, we could do science experiments, I could give tutoring in English, Biology, Algebra, Science, etc., we could go on a trail walk with my dog Dill Pickle, or just do crafts. My schedule says I'm only available at night, however I am free to do certain days as long as I have enough notice. I work full-time and I get two weekday days off a week,
