Hello, my name is Meg and I am 27. I am currently a FT nanny for 3 children (two 2.5 yr olds and a 13 mo old). I am therefore looking for night and weekend babysitting jobs. I started babysitting when I was 13 years old for my neighbors children and ever since then my name has been passed around from one mother to the next and I have babysat/nannied for over 30 families. I have cared for infants, twins, families with 8 children, nanny share, children with discipline/behavioral issues, I've been a mother's helper and a overnight weekend sitter. I have experience with all kinds of children and all sorts of families and I have truly loved every family I've become a part of. My job is to keep your children safe and happy and make your job as a parent easier, whatever that takes! I do not have a Read more general "philosophy" about raising children because each family and every child is different. However, I am not a big "couch potato" fan, I would much rather spend time with children playing outside, visiting a park or museum, reading books, playing board games, making crafts or baking something yummy! I believe kids needs rules but I also believe kids just need to have fun while they're still kids!   *I have listed my number 1 contact, but I can get references from just about any family type, families with 8 kids, families with twins, families with infants, families I watched overnight etc. Just let me know if you want a specific type of reference and I will get you contact info right away! Thanks

We had such a good experience, we wish we lived in Chicago to use Megan as our regular sitter. We found Meg for our first time using Sittercity for an out of town wedding. Before the event, she made us very comfortable with her services by an phone interview plus the family she currently nannies for provide a glowing review. Even though we just used her for a weekend, she really showed an interest in our kids (4 months and 4 years old) and our 4 year still talks about her weeks later. Thanks Meg!
