Hello! My name is Meaghan and I am a recent college graduate with a BA in Human Rights and Cultural Studies. I am currently studying Special Educaiton (certification + Master of Education) at San Diego State University. I have a lot of experience working with children: - 7th Grade Math summer school teacher at Gompers Middle School in South Central Los Angeles - Gymnastics Coach (Monroe, WI) - Swimming Lesson Instructor/Life Guard (Monroe, WI) - Special Olympics Track Coach (Monroe, WI) - 4th and 5th grade tutor (Monroe, WI) - Volunteer with Stand Up for Kids working with unhoused youth (Olympia, WA) - Substitute Assistant Preschool Teacher (Monroe, WI) - Volunteer at Orphanage (Palmares, Costa Rica) - Nanny (Monroe, WI) I love kids, teaching, and going on adventures. My courses in Special Education and education in general help me to provide individualized attention even when working with many children. I Read more am a fun, engaged, smiley, active, and creative nanny. I love creating adventures for the kids I'm watching and I would love to give you more details. With that said, I am not a big fan of television, video games, or computer games as babysitting and I will not use them as a tool unless otherwise instructed. A bit about me, I'm proficient in Spanish but not fluent. I love sports, especially hiking, biking, gymnastics, track and field, climbing, and camping (less of a sport, but I consider it one anyway). I am also a huge reader and writer. If you ever have a good book suggestion, send it my way! I grew up in Southern Wisconsin, which is where my family lives. I am the oldest of four kids, and have a 6 year old sister (she is the one in my photo). I love cooking, and I am always up for learning new things! If I sound like I could be a good match, I'd love to hear from you! I look forward to meeting you and your family. Meaghan

We hired Meaghan for a one-time job while we were in San Diego for our vacation/Anniversary. She was amazing from first contact. She is an educated, bright young woman. We felt calm from the moment we met her. My 3 kids (10 yrs, 4.5 yrs and almost 2) all loved her and talked about her for days! She walked with them to the beach and park and took them to the pool. This was not something I was sure I was going to let them do as we were staying at a hotel. But like I said, the moment we met her we were very impressed and felt completely as ease with her. She played smart games with them and they didn't watch TV. My kids talked about her showing them how to make a rainbow with water, glass and light. And she got them to play story games and talk about wild inventions. She babysat for 4 hours and I didn't hear any complaints from the kids. In fact, when we returned to our room, my son who is almost 2, stayed by her side and kept holding on her. Now that shows some love! I highly recommend Meaghan! I would be happy to be a reference. Thank you again, Meaghan, for allowing us to have a romantic night out for our Anniversary!!!
