Meet Megan

I've babysat for multiple friends, family and people in the neighborhood over the duration of 7years. 1 of which was a live in job for 3 years where we both worked opposite shifts, taking care of her son from the time he was a newborn until age 3. I love children, and am capable of taking care of any at any age. I'm a very calm and mellow person and children don't frustrate me, especially if they cry a lot. I enjoy helping with school work, playing games, keeping them entertained, helping with laundry, doing dishes, making food if necessary, etc. & will follow the parents instructions to a T. I do have a car, so I can pick up and drop off at school & run errands if need be. I'm not cpr certified yet, but I have done cpr multiple times before throughout my life without any issues. Read more as well as the hiemlich. I'm a fun and upbeat person, great with kids. & Whatever it is you'd need from me, I can do.
