Hello my name is Margaret, thank you for your interest in getting to know me and my child & family background. I love caring for children and their families. I've been told that I have a gift in this area. I have been caring for children since I was thirteen years of age, when I traveled with a doctor, his wife and three wonderful children in Chicago. I have been a babysitter and nanny for over 18 years. I'm fun-loving, nurturing, responsible, respectful, grounded and children just behave well in that environment with me. I'm silly and fun as well and believe children learn and thrive when life is kept interesting and easy going. My references are impeccable as are my background checks. I am CPR and Health & Safety trained and I possess good instincts and common sense. I'd love to hear from you about your family and how Read more I may become a part of the raising your children to become happy, helpful young citizens. I love to inspire children to learn and discover themselves through their daily lives and activities, as well as exploring others and the world around them. I like to involve them in imaginary play, nature, cooking, art, music, dance etc. I look forward to hearing from you and let's see if my life can touch your families in a helpful, positive way. I have a specialty in working with newborns, highly requested at hotels in Los Angeles. I have so much experience with and love all ages of children and I am able to do it all, from nurturing children to managing a family and their needs. I look forward to hearing from you soon;) All My Best Margaret
