My name is Megan! I am a 24-year-old who has a bachelor's degree in early childhood and am getting my master's right now in Special Education.

I love children and would love to be a help to you if you need child care or babysitting often.

Hi! I’m a caring, energetic, and dependable person who genuinely loves working with kids! I grew up taking care of children in my neighborhood, which led to years of babysitting for many wonderful families. I also have several years of experience as a summer camp counselor, where I supported children in both group activities and one-on-one care. My experience is in childcare, youth programming, and recreational supervision. I’ve helped plan and lead age-appropriate activities, managed group dynamics, ensured safety in active environments, and supported children in building confidence, creativity, and social skills. I recently graduated from school, where I developed strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills that I use in every role I take on. I also hold the following certifications: Standard First Aid, CPR-C (Child & Infant CPR), AED Certification, and Child Safety & Supervision Training. These help me provide a safe, responsible, and prepared environment for children in my care. Outside of childcare, I currently work in a fast-paced, people-facing service role, which has strengthened my responsibility, time management, adaptability, and ability to work well under pressure. I love being outdoors, staying active, doing creative activities, and making everyday moments fun! Most importantly, I want every child I care for to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and completely themselves. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, and I always treat that responsibility with kindness, patience, and care.

I genuinely enjoy working with children because every day brings something new whether it's building a fort out of couch cushions or helping with homework. I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids feel supported to explore and grow. Being a sitter lets me make a positive impact on a child’s day, and that’s incredibly fulfilling to me! I’ve worked with children of all ages from infants to preteens in various settings including babysitting for families, volunteering at a children’s hospital, and mentoring through youth programs. I’m comfortable with routines like school pickups, meal prep, bedtime, and helping with homework. CPR & First Aid Certified Background checked Strong communicator with both children and parents Patient and calm under pressure Creative and educational play expert (arts & crafts, STEM games, reading time!) Reliable transportation and flexible scheduling

I feel that music should be on most of the time. I was born in New York to immigrant parents from Greece. I speak Greek fluently and have studied other languages including French and Spanish. I love to cook, bake, go fishing and garden. I have experience with children with special needs and understand the challenges and joys that come from them.
